Any way to remove kind of deep scratches from one? I'm kind of nervous to use steel wool. |

Bill, Only way to remove deep scratches is by buffing with a bench polisher with an aggressive compound, or resort to sandpaper, as I had to do on a few really deep scratches on my Sanitronic. I was able to sand/blend the deep scratches out, then buff it to a nice shine. It took about 2-3 days of work on the nozzle, but it turned out nice! Before and after picture below. Also, note that the cleaner is just mocked together for a quick photo. |

WOW indeed. That is amazing! When I saw the first pic, before I scrolled down I thought (yeah, GOOD luck on that one). Jaw has now completely hit the floor. SO ummmmm....yeah. I think I'll have to take your advice. ;) |
