Hello and thanks for offering this post. It has helped me and my son more than you know.
My question has to do with axle scratches. We purchased Max V's speed axles and proceeded to shine them up starting with 1000 grit all the way up to 3000 grit and then DuPont polishing compound. Looking at them with a magnifying glass they are very shiney but they have a couple relatively deep scratches. Will this be a problem even though the axles are very smooth and shiney? I once read that the scratches are OK because they help hold some graphite. What do you recommend I do? Sand them down some more or leave them as is? I thank you in advance for your expertise.
