How do you folks handle small scratches on aluminum boats and especially white rubber bumper dock marks.. My boat needs some TLC and so far what I'm doing is not working.

Thanks in advance for your help

In my opinion they are unavoidable. Since they are only cosmetic I live with them.

In the past I have used permanent markers seem to hide some of the scratches even on the graphics.
They have a ton of colors to help blend them in...

On my old white tin boat I used a magic erasure to get black bumper marks off. It worked very well.

I don't know if it works on tin but I was told to use acetone on my glass boat to get rid of them. I haven't had to try it but I trust the source.
