I have found a # of small scratches on the blank after I wrapped a blank. Im a little un-easy to ship the rod out looking a little rough. I know im not the only person to encounter this so what do or would you guys do to spiff it up a bit? I have heard of WD or the like but not sure how it will act on the wraps. Thanks for any helo fellas!

Lemon Pledge. Won't help the scratches....but nobody sees the scratches after a fishign trip and they scratch it themselves

Tooth past make a decent rubbing compound for the scratches. Mix with water. Buff and then use the pledge on it.

If you buff it go gentily, I don't know how the finish is on that blank.

Even before I fish with a rod I give it a coat of hard wood floor past wax. This will give the rod a high luster and minimal protection from light abrasions and scratches.
