I've just invested a Hefty �1.14 in some Acetone so I will see how that goes

- though the guy I bought it off asked me the purpose and when I said Cricket, we got into a conversation about the match yesterday, what a game!!

I've used acetone before and it makes the marks lighter but doesn't always remove them completely. Use the acetone outside or wear a mask as if you get a lung full it will give you the most horrific headache.

Yeah I realised that a bit too late...It has worked, but as you said some marks remain. Any ideas of removing those apart from a 2nd coat...? Will open the window next time!

This will sound weird but I have used wet and dry sandpaper to remove light marks on an anti-scuff to investigate a crack underneath. A fine grade of paper will just touch the top surface rather than actually do any real sanding.

Hmm may be worth a little experiment on an older bat, I will try it out at some point, maybe not on my current selection though
