Most people I know use 400 grit SiC paper for major work and ScotchBrite® medium (green) for minor surface scratches.

Send it to litespeed. I made a shopworn and scuffed Merlin look acceptable with scotchbrite and a fine diamond abrasive paste.

I talked to the folks at Litespeed but they wanted $500 to do the job which I thought was robbery.

Don't know about the 400 grit SiC paper but ScotchBrite (med) green does work.

Steel wool works wonders too. I've used that in the shop and on my Ti wedding band that is half polished, half brushed. Looks good.
