I've searched around, but never really arrived at a conclusion as to what the best method is to remove scratches on this type of piano. The scratches don't feel like they're into the wood itself, but rather the layer on top (lacquer? -Not really sure what the layer is called on mine). Hopefully the pictures I've attached show the scratches well enough. So, anyone know what the best method and material is to remove scratches on my piano? Thanks Attached Images

In a seemingly infinite universe-infinite human creativity is-seemingly possible. According to NASA, 93% of the earth like planets possible in the known universe have yet to be formed.

We advise that you do not try to treat the scratches as this may lead to further irreparable damage. We are sorry to have to report this to you." Looks like I'll have to stick with the scratches.
