Hello I am in a changing of command ceremony on Tuesday, and we have to wear our blues! My Corfram dress shoes have scuffs on the inner toe! How do I safely get rid of these horriablr scuffs?
Marks are typically permanent on these things.
Thin scratches can be filled in with a variety of methods, one that I have used in a pinch is filling the crack area with 'Sharpie' ink. Take a black Sharpie, fill it in, and wipe immediately, perpendicular to the crack/scratch. Let it dry and repeat. If you take the 'edge' off whatever scratch, it's a lot less visible.
Yea they're not scratches just simply where I rubbed my shoes on something......
.. and I left off Alcohol, Pledge .. and a buffing cloth, for friction rub type scuffing where you've transfered surface properties, but (hopefully) not penetrated the surface.
Before you start applying stuff like a black Sharpie or Pledge, try buffing out the scuff with toothpaste.
Toothpaste is a mild abrasive. I've been buffing out scratches on plastic watch crystals for years using toothpaste.

You noticed he didn't say he had tried it himself. Plus watch crystals and plastic model canopies are opaque. If you try toothpaste try it on something else first.

I've used it on my shoes with no problems. It will only work on a slight blemish, if there's a scratch then the shoes are done.
Brasso and a cotton ball. Buff a small area with the cotton ball and wipe it off with a soft cloth. I had the same pair of Corframs all 4 years in the Marines
Shaving cream and a clean rag! If scratch is too deep then the shine from this will lessen the scratch look!
We need more lemon pledge.
