Frame Scratch

[Jdratcliffe]

I have just seen this on my frame top i have a few rub marks on the forks from the brake and gear cables but this looks like a key mark, you can run your hand along and feel the scratch. any ideas how i can make it good? can i use T-cut like a car or whats the bike version.

If you can feel it and its gone through the top laquer then its probably to deep to polish out

This may not help much but when I thought mine had a scratch (it actually wasn't) I thought back to when I were noubt bura lad.....we could get bike transfers which covered all scratches and we used them liberally. I have tried googling without success-I wonder if they are still available.

what is the frame made from? eg. steel, alu, Ti or carbon?

a bit of polishing wax might improve it but it wont go completely! Be careful with polishing though - wouldn't want to make it worse.

its an ali frame... mm so a bit of gently t-cut followed by a wax and polish (like a car)? i do and have car waxed the frame and bike to help keep it clean and shiny.

Your bike will wear it's battle scars with pride.

I would avoid the T-cut (much too risky), and go straight for the car wax.
