Just finished a bathroom remodel and realized that one of my guys (most likely me) scratched the inside of the porcelain tub whom's surround we were retiling. These are really minor scratches and I've tried cleaning them to no avail (used acetone). Paying for a whole new glaze on the tub seems like a bit much, but the scratches are too small to use a porcelain touch up kit on. Any ideas?

Yes, have had success with fibreglass rub, boat scrub, anything that takes scratches off boat finishes.

How long have you been doing this type of work, anyway ?

By the way what is 'whom's surround'. What does that mean ?

A fiberglass rub for a porcelain tub? I'll look into it.
The tub's is who whom is referencing, I framed in a surrounding wall to enclose the existing tub and retiled the full area. I have been working doing remodeling for 8 years although in the last year I have started doing the work without a company. Thanks again, I'm off the to boat supply store!

Feed, try baking soda first before you are off somewhere. I only suggested that because I have that here all the time, so just assume everyone has fibreglass rub even for taking scratches off cars that are not that deep.
