Metal Scuffs on the Porcelain

These are surface marks caused by soft metal rubbing against the porcelain.

Follow the steps below to remove surface marks caused by soft metal rubbing against the porcelain.

First try removing the scuff mark by using a rag with warm soapy water.

If that fails, use Bon Ami (or other non abrasive cleanser) on a wet rag. Remember - use a feather touch at first and apply more pressure as you go. Only use the force necessary to remove a stain - excess pressure with any cleaner, sandpaper or rubbing compound can dull the tub finish.

If the mark remains, use a light rubbing compound according to the instructions above.

If you still have a scuff mark, gently use very fine (1500 or higher) grit sandpaper to remove the mark. Wet the sandpaper and use small, circular motions on the affected area.
