    How to polish/remove scratches from a shiney reel?

    I have a Antares DC and it has some light scuffing here and there, just wondering if anyone has found a safe option to polishing these off?
    Would i microfiber towel and some lite polishing compound work?

    Hope y'all are staying safe out there!

    Just reel rash. Best to leave it alone as you will do more damage that good if you try to remove it.

    I would leave it alone - I really messed up a reel by trying to polish out some scratches.

    Just keep fishing it,eventually the scratches will all blend in and you will forget about it. Seriously though, reels are tools meant to be used. Don’t abuse them but wear and tear is part of fishing.
