thanks for that spaced. They are fine scratches - I figure rather than paint over them they would rub ie melt back into the rubber. sorry for not explaining correctly. I do have some back to black - I am not too well with a lot of pain today so will try this later.
I done too much yesterday - cut the grass, brought stuff to the recycling and then done voluntary work and worked on a computer (sat on a chair for 2 and half hours) with no back on it. My back is breakingggggggggggggggggg
yeah use back to black, cockpit shine. They are basically like a scented version of WD40, which will bring the black shine back. Another option is to brush in some shoe polish only a small bit to get rid of the light scratches
