You didn't specify that. Also, it's Friday. I have beer. What did you expect?

Depends on the original finish.

Shot penned - no chance, unless you get it done again.

Brushed - scotchbrite/pan-scrub

Polished - Brasso

Just use some fine wet and dry (get a multipack from 100-1600 or so grit) some beers and TV... you can follow that with some car scratch restorer if you want it shining... but the start course and work down should work and carborundum is harder than Ti.

Nice smooth action works best.
