I have had my GMT-Master since 1982. Over the years I have periodically polished out light scratches with Brasso. With deeper scrtaches I would take a little Brasso and then a pen knife blade and drag the blade across the scratch until the ridges were gone and then finish the fine polishing with Brasso and soft cloth until the scratch was completely gone. For decades this method kept my crystal looking as if new. I did this with the original crystal from 1982 to 2005. During its five year service I replaced the cyrstal in 2005.
