Title: Buffing out case wear Post by: Creighton on December 11, 2002, 01:38:35 am Hello,
Anybody had any luck buffing out light case wear on bottles. Looking for tips or hints! Thanks much!

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.

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.

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