    From what I heard - you can repair minor scratches (and take this with a grain of salt) using a wax agent. And if I recall - it was called aquapel

    Any pics? I’d probably replace it it bothered me. If it’s minor cosmetics then I may just live with it. Aquapel is a short term solution if it works.
