    Default scratched toilet

    good evening fellow tilers. in the process of tiling a bathroom. had the toilet packed out to tile behind it as they didnt want to be without a toilet for a week. i dont know how its happened, whether it was the alum ladders or my belt buckle when leaning on the front of the toilet to tile behind it, has left a metallic scuff on the front of the bog. i have used white spirit on it and it has removed a bit of it.... scrubbed for ages. ANY IDEAS APPRECIATED..........????? this must have happened to a lot of others surely? i am doing it really cheap for a friend and will be really ****ed off if i have to pay for another bog. cheers folks

    This just an idea, but have you could try a small amount of t-cut to work it off?

    I thought I would find some details on the Peek cleaning paste I used to remove my metal 'scratch' on tiles, but on reading the literature I couldn't bring myself to copy and paste it. According to the blurb it will clean everything including space shuttles, Boeing 747, brass ornaments and the inside of the Tardis!

    Hype maybe, but when used with my dremmel and a soft polishing pad well soaked, on slow, it does the job better than all the other ideas I tried.

    Hope this helps

    ps I think I paid a £1 or 2 for it I was initially looking for some Solvol Autosol and this looked similar. From some company in cheshire pm me if you need more info
