Buffing out case wear

[Creighton]

Hello,

Anybody had any luck buffing out light case wear on bottles. Looking for tips or hints!

Thanks much!

I haven't tried this on bottles but I don't think it's going to work well. The abrasives for glass have to be very harsh to do much and by the time the case wear is gone any ACL will be too and much of any embossed logo will be smoothed away. It wouldn't hurt to try, but I think you'll end up living with the "character" of the older bottles.

I have found that the best thing for fixing case wear on glass bottles is to clean them and apply a thin dose of Johnsons paste wax (little yellw can) over the entire bottle and let it haze over. Clean cotton towel to remove haze and buff. Some times a second coat on stubborn bottles. There bottles will shine like the dickens, the wear will still be there but no where as noticable.

Thanks Pope!!

Worked like a champ. Paste automotive Turtle Wax does the trick as well. Great board!!
