Have bought a used 2011 brushed stainless Valor with a number of scratches. Can you tell me how to remove them. Thanks!

Depends on stainless finish, if brushed, I have used fine steel wool and Scotch Brite. There are different grades of SB but all I have is household green.
Some cases I used steel wool first ad SB second and sometimes the reverse. Whichever matches finish best. I hesitated for a long time and figured it could not look worst. Been happy with 4 or 5 I have done. Couple were idiot marks on used guns and now they are gone. Smoother finishes are harder to blend and usually finer steel wool is last (and maybe a bit of Flitz).

Find a local machine shop and get it bead blasted. Problem solved.
Like New again!

Is there a DIY for a bead blasted frame with an idiot mark on it?

![]() ![]() I figured SB might be too abrasive and so would mothers polish. It's got a bead blast look on it.
