removing scratches from titanium?
Anyone know how this can be done? My tanabe Ultra Medallion Ti canister has a few scratches from that damned band clamp and trying to get it on and bolted on correctly.

I was hoping someone knew of some sort of metal polish or buffing compound to take these scratches out!

Thanks!

i believe those exhausts have the titanium colored burn.. its not really titanium. steel wool would only wear the titanium burn more although atleast ur scratches will be 'blended'

Umm - no. The ultra medallion is a Ti Canister and tip with stainless piping, weighs in around 17 pounds on my bathroom scale for the catback.
