| I have had luck with a bar droped on brick by using a buffing wheel...go real slow & take your time. |

| Buy a small can or jar of a "top quality" metal polishing compound. You can polish your bar until it shines like a brand new chrom bar once again. |

| It depends on how bad the 'scratch' really is and what the bar is coated with, or not. Good luck. |

| I used "Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish". I put a dab on a buffing wheel on my grinder, it did pretty well. Probably any rubbing compound or jewelers rouge will work. |

| I'm not so sure small scratches do much to the sound of a bar. I use them till they're scratched up as hell and then buy a new one. |

I generally toss 'em, but I have a new product I'll be coming out with soon that'll make you all very happy...
But I ain't saying what yet... |

Rather than scratches, I have a hairline crack developing. It is still smooth over the surface, but can anything be done?
Aloha,
