Chuck - Are you implying that it would be OK if the anodized "layer" is removed for good? That's what would have to happen on a anodized alum piece....once the scratch, etc occurs the "defect" has likely scratched through the anodized layer. Can't really be "blended", etc with sanding since that would just open up a larger area where the anodizing is removed. Anodizing hardens the aluminum to a certain depth.

Accordingly, all the anodizing would have to be removed and then any scratches, etc dealt with. Then the piece becomes a "maintenance" item requiring periodic waxing or polishing.

Best bet would be to have the whole pieces redone. Possibly VERY REASONABLE price-wise due to the lack of heavy/numerous scratches.
