Im trying to determine if all slides made with this grade of aluminum scratches that easily or if my AS slide is just a bit softer than the average slide, im sick of keeping it in a cabinet, how easily was it scratched? The tip of my finger nail rubbed it softly and permanently marred it .. Drives me crazy  |
You have to be gentle with them. Don't expect to throw them around and have them looking perfect, that's what STEEL builds are for! The older SD slides may use harder metal but they still scratch easily. The finish of the slide also makes a difference. If you have a brushed or mirrored finish it will always scratch easier than a matte black finish.
There are still some older SD slides available on WGCshop though variety is severely limited.
