Scratches in lacquer

Hi all,

I have just taken delivery of a second hand Sram Force carbon chainset bought off the forum.

The condition of the chainset is ok however it does have some scuffing/rubbing marks on the NDS crank arm, probably from shoe rub.

These are not too deep and are just cosmetic however I want to try and polish them out and back to a gloss finish on the lacquer, to do this what should I use and what process should I follow?

Also on the inside of the same crank arm the lacquer has delaminated slightly around what looks to be a chip from a small tool like a flat headed screw driver, does anyone see any problems with me just using a tiny bit of superglue to stick this down, or is there a better option?

Your thoughts oh wise ones!
Obsessed is a word used by the lazy to describe the dedicated!

    T Cut for the scratches, no problem re superglue for the delamination.

    Used T-Cut a load of times on cranks, then polish afterwards with Autoglym.

    For major de-lamination get some fibreglass epoxy and just dab that around the edge, then wet and dry and polish.
