@Steven Goldberg what is a cudlet?

I have used steel wool on a Minute Machine and that works well enough for lights scratches, while maintaining a close match to the original finish.

Have you tried the 3M Green Scotchbrite on a Gearbox Ti bracelet, which has more of a matte finish?

These are the scratches I would like to remove:

Ti gearbox is a mix of brushed and a glass beaded sort of finish. Brushed in the recessed areas and glass beaded on the case and rest of the band. It might be vapor honed finish as well. Glass beaded finish and vapor honed has a similar look. But I refinished mine by glass beading it.

Can you elaborate what glass beading means?

Google will explain it more thoroughly than me.

It's media blasting using glass beads as the media.
