A Maintenance Question Regarding Snail Trails

I have a question about maintenance. I have a few Benchmades with Ti scales (761, 790 for example). I love the knives and am wondering how to remove "snail trails" from the finish. Any help with this??

As said on Facebook. I've heard a eraser, but who really knows until you try it. Post if it works.

I've heard Oxyclean, but those only work if they are "pencil" marks. If they are rub marks in the finish, only re-finishing will get rid of them.

I tried it, and can tell you without a doubt, that the pencil eraser thing does not work.

Scratches in Ti handles are like scratches in the BK coating on a blade. The first few look bad, then it sort of ends up like a patina when you get more.

So, I suggest you just scratch it up more.

I have a Pro Tech TR-3 with a bunch of trails. Bought it second hand and hated the way it looked so I tried windex and 12,000 grit. Worked pretty good.
I had the 12,000 grit for my pool cue's shaft.....burnisher extraordinaire!!
