Hi guys I tiled this job about 2 months ago , the marks are made by the customer and the movement of there metal table legs been tragged on it by there kids. its the black 600x600 highly polished porcelain tile and I am trying to give my customer the best advise on how to make the marks appear less noticeable or take the scratches out all together... I really dont fancy cutting the tiles out and lifting them again from the middle of the floor and it gets better the joiner forced the kick boards back on in the kitchen when they clearly wont fit with the new unit end and he has cracked the big check which I am going change next week for the couple... rather than trimming the kick boards down like I offered to do at the time. :mad2:

Re: what is the best 4 taking scratches out of high polish porcelain t
these are probaly lead lines not scratches left on the surface of the tile thats what happenns when you drag metal over a tile a litele bit of the metal is left on the surface of the tile same as you some times see on a pocalaien sink when brushed with metal object so your best bet is first try rubbiing with a little powedered adhsive if this does not work then go over tile with 1200 wet and dry sand paper over the marks dont forget to use water should take the metal marks off the tile

i have not yet tried anythin on them mate... i just been reading up on polishes . i wasn't sure to approach it like marble or not in case i made it worse. lol i used scratch remover on my old car once and when the sun hit it there was loads of tarnishing marks everywhere i end up getting my whole bumper re painted sprayed. i will look into buying a tool like that . that would be great ...cheers tony
