Not if you use fine enough and apply gentle pressure. Make sure you have plenty of the cleaner on though

stockchevy1983 · 03-20-2007, 04:46 PM

boguht eagle one nevr dull, shit kicks ass, also am using very very fine steel wool and no scratches, fingers are killing me though with spokes lol

Yeah, the steel wool works wonders on them. The fine kind with the soap built in works really well too.

And make sure you set the steel wool on fire and twirl it around in an open area for shits and giggles
