Default "Rubbing Out"

In a situation like this, would buffing with "0000" steel wool and a
good wax solve the problem. Being careful, of course, on the edges
so you do not cut through.


0000 steel wool would take the nibs dwon, but something like 400-600
sandpaper on a block would work better. The block greatly helps distribute
the abrassive force, and keep the surface flatter than steel wool would do.
It also helps keep the abrassive riding on the high spots (the nibs) and
less on the low spots, whch steel wool would not do.
