I just tried this on a matte finished scope (Nitrex TR-1) and wow, it worked fabulously!
Thanks for the great tip!

Thanks for the great tip! I was surprised how well these work. Hope the eBay buyers don't read this or the great deals on ringmarked up scopes will go away. To one of you bastages probably!

Great tip! I am going to try it.
I am guessing here, but it may be that the scratches are really 2 things- 1) slight buildup of oxidation from where the anodized finish was removed and 2) the underlying metal being exposed.
The Magic eraser will be great at removing the slight buildup of oxidation and whatnot. The shinier metal showing through the scratch may be partially filled and look less obvious by the minute amount of finish being buffed off.
total WAG though.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

I have can of never-dull wadding polish sitting on my bench. I use it on heavily soiled brass and things that need a little clean up. Just tried it on a scope ring and it worked great too. Wouldn't of thought of it if I hadn't seen this post.

I've been using Never-dull for years to remove the carbon ring buildups on the front of my revolver cylinders. I've also used it to polish (hide?) ring marks on scopes. I like the Never-dull because it also leaves a protective residue. I don't leave all the residue, rather I just lightly wipe the surface I've polished with a clean shop towel.

They also work great on vinyl convertible tops, boat seats, etc. You would be surprised how it pulls out the old grime. Things looks brand new afterwards.

Wow, THANKS Nsquam! This is one of the best, most useful threads and tips I have seen here at the 'fire! I have some hard used scopes on a couple of nice rifles and when I get back from this 24hrcf gathering I am going to give these products a try! Just terrific idea sharing here.
You might want to put this idea in the general campfire and in the custom rifles threads so that more members get the benefit of your discovery.
