On my original burlwood one the aluminum trim section had a dent and some 80 grit scratches from a sander hitting it. After my experience with the new Pebble grain one from classic......I decided I would try to remove the dent and scratches from my original.

I was surprised that the scratches and the dent were pretty easily removed with some 180 grit sanding and screwdriver work (worked the dent out from the backside with a flat head screwdriver). Of course you remove the anodizing (chrome) on the aluminum with the sanding, but you can then either get it re-anodized or polish the aluminum to a mirror like shine.

I was very happy the dent and deep scratches came right out.....cause the aluminum trim section is just alot better on the originals than the new one from Classic.
