How to fix scratches?

Hi all,

 

Could you please give some advice on how to fix these scratches. These scratches are minor but visible. Does the waxstick works? Or I need to use some cover or polish? Many Thanks!

Re: How to fix the little scratches

Hi @BY822,

 

Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is great to have you join us.

 

Can you advise what the scratches are on? 

 

It's not easy to offer guidance on a suitable scratch repair product without knowing the surface that the scratches are on.

 

Once we have this information, I am happy to offer further advice.

 

Jacob

Re: How to fix the little scratches

Hi @BY822,

 

Thank you for the further information.

 

My assumption is you have a cabinet made of components similar to this Kaboodle Black Olive Slimline End Panel. If this is the case, then you are likely dealing with scratches in a black melamine or shellac coating.

 

Other members such as @Suhas have had success repairing black furniture in their post How to clean bug spray stains on TV stand with wax such as Waxstix Ebony Timbermate Touch Up Wax Crayon. You might like to check this post out for comparison.

 

If possible, could you upload a wider photo of the cabinet? A wider photo showing the whole cabinet would certainly assist in offering specific advice. 

 

Let me know if you need assistance with anything.

 

Jacob
