Thank you.
I won't get personal publicly but, irony is real.
Growing up in a hard nosed Italian environment you know, I left home at 15.
I had a very troubling and physical childhood. Tempers flared and there was only one way out.
At 17 when my oldest was born I knew I had mountains to climb.
The irony - About the time I was 35 I was accepted for a Master's program/Social Sciences. I learned more about myself than I would ever imagine. I learned that the source of my tension and grieve as a child, my father, turned out to be a great teacher and I was the student. I learned how not to raise my children because of him.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and I am catching up on 500+post and congrats to all the new Ti owners. I have been away on a special mountain trip to Grove Park Inn in Ashville, nc for a few days but was able to snag my XTi!!!
Now, I am looking at my toppers to see what will be worthy of this special mod....hmmmmm...any suggestions? I could obviously use the Heron but maybe I am missing that special topper possibly made of Ti as well that I need for my new girl!! All suggestions welcomed! Going to get some rest! Peace Out!!

Okay guys I need some advice. I dropped my X and heron tonight. Well not really dropped but it fell off a table and landed flat on its side. No deep marks at all thankfully. I have a pnb thanks to idahbro but I want to know the best grit sand paper of get rid of these marks.
Surprisingly it fell off of a table to concrete and it just looks like surface blemishes. Nothing deep thankfully. I can post pictures if needed. I can hardly see the blems I can just feel them.
I need help guys!

Thanks Q for your lustful picture!

if i may, i have a similar situation. do you use the 800 grit, then something like cap cod?
I do believe Perseas posted my method on the tips thread. But, seeing that this is your X I would absolutely not use sandpaper. The reason is because trying to blend sandpaper finishes to match would almost be impossible. Especially when the grit from 3M is going to be different than the same grit from another.
On another forum recently, P helped another and told him go touch up the brushed GP with a.very light, very light rub, of course in a circular rotation around the tube.
I would mention that in your case I would lightly just buff or quickly "hit" the spot quickly without the rotation. Just like the King of Kings says, less is better
I would recommend buying the a multi pack of the different colors of Scotchbrite and the same with steel wool. Please take my recommendation of buying or finding a cheap, no good for anyone, worthless, job stealing, breaking child labor laws, Far East ripoff clone tube of some sort to practice and see what the different mediums look like to help with exactly this.
Or leave it and in a week you'll forget about it! Congrats on your first character mark!
I'll pass on watching, post that crap for your clone forum, not here, so all of you can justify supporting them.
Again, that has no business on this thread.

Hi Q. Great professional documentary on the prevalence of counterfeiting so many products by the Chinese and the negative effect it is having on the global economy.
Thanks for posting.

I am going to grab the pack of scotchbright pads and attempt to polish it out. Honestly the bad marks are on the heron. The only "feelable" marks are on the paps X switch but I know I can polish those out. I'm only worried about the marks on the heron.

Alright smarty
Ah, in this case our buddy Bill was right! I would just polish the entire piece. As Bill said with wet sp and your new PnB!
I will start a polish at 320 or 600 and slowly move up in grit. Slowly move the SP up carefully getting the edges and slopes. It is far easier than you think and know you have the skills. Take your time! Go slow. Take a look at the Tips thread or feel free to pm with any questions!
