Remove a scratch from iMac base stand?

[3SQ Machine]

I've just noticed a small scratch (more like a nick) right on the stand of the iMac under the Apple logo. Of course, it's in my line of sight so now that I see it, I can't unsee it. I really could care less about any scratches on the back and might end up feeling the same way about this.

Anyone successfully use any tricks to buff out/minimize small scratches/nicks on their aluminum iMacs?

Fooling with it... may make it... worse... more noticeable.

Agreed!!! I'm not doing a thing unless someone chimes with something that worked. Otherwise, I'll deal with the "lived-in" look on my new iMac.

how even do you scratch a brushed aluminium surface??

I think the base was nicked by the heatsink of my external NVME drive. It's minor, thought it was just a piece of dust until I realized it was a small indentation. Of course I see it now everytime I look at it.

leave and ignore or place something over it if it bothers you. if you mess with it, it will only get worse.
