Ok, so after looking about the forums a bit, I got some decent shape Vistalites that I wanted to fix up....... I got the Meguires headlight polish kit, and got to work... things went well. The light marks vanished, and the medium marks got really really light... then I worked on a little more significant mark.. while working on it, I ended up with a POLISHING BURN!!!! AAAAAHHHHH I'm been working on it patiently.. and in about 2 hours, I've gotten it to shrink... but I bet there's plenty more time in it. I've read that an ultra ultra fine sandpaper can give you a jump on bigger scratches...
Please don't send me Novus "told ya so's" I'm cranky enough about it. I intend to use this set at church when it's done... so athough I thought many things to say... OH MAN!...... This Stinks! and What now!?!? were the only things I actually did say. God has a sense of humor I guess and intends for me to keep using my existing drums? Or he's trying to teach me patience... yeah yeah... how long will that take. LOL.
