Removing Scratches ?

Picked a Coolermaster case out of the scrap pallet today at work, there are a couple of scratches on it as a result, can it be resurrected to look like new?

If they are fine scratches try T-Cut.

Found out the case is a 201B the one with the champagne (say poo) coloured sides which actually don't look too bad in the flesh so to speak.

I always thought the idea of a brownish coloured case a bit pants.

I've had a good look at the outside finish of the case during dinner. It only needs a bit of a clean up to make it look okay (i'm thinking just soapy water and kitchen roll?).

There is one quite deep cut which may need filing in however i am considering cutting a window out instead, :eek:

The rest of the scratches i found are really small so i will just have a go at polishing them out.

Unfortunately its missing 2 x 5 1/4 bezels and 1 x 3 1/2 bezel is missing can these still be sourced?

I've ordered some Scratch x so should be able to give it a good clean up over the weekend.

Here is a picture of the only deep scratch.

Is automotive filler the only option?
