Removing scratches from galvanized kitchen table

Bon Ami

on eBay or Amazon

(affil link)

A. Hi Beth. It doesn't look like "galvanized" to me ... I think it's stainless steel. It's going to be difficult to keep very small scratches off a metal table because ceramic (china, grains of sand, etc.) is harder than metal, and is therefore prone to scratching it.

Removing small scratches is called "buffing". You may be able to buff by hand with a sponge and a very mild abrasive like Bon Ami ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil links] (go in the direction of the brush finish). If not, you would need buffing compound on a small buffing wheel in a Dremel ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil links] or battery-operated drill, but you may make it worse (by making the area you buff too shiny). I think you should try hard to find out exactly what the table is made of before using any power tools on it :-)

Luck & Regards,
