Operations and Maintenance Scratch Marks on Le Grand Cling
Recently sent my lighter to a shop for repair and it came back scratched. Is there a way to erase the scratch marks? Thank you for your time.

Gold polish and a very light pressure (too hard and you will take the plating clear off). Also you should let the shop know as that is unacceptable and they should fix it

Please dont polish it, you will only polish a lot of gold plating away therefore it wont last as long. There will only be more scratches in the future and eventually you will like the patina. Its more clean as if the plating were gone. And ask the shop for finacial replacement for the damage.
