How can I get rid of scratches on marble?

[peteroldracer]

Having just finished painting the walls of our main room, including the chimney breast over our marble fireplace, there are some fine scratches where I have been a bit too brutal when getting rid of paint overflow! Has anyone used successfully any scratch removers and/or marble polishes to bring it back to shiny smooth?

[open answer, color=pink, typeface=arial mood=good] We have people do the marbe floors and they use a buffer and some polishing compound so thats what I would do to remove scratches get some paste/polishing compound and buff away[/open answer, color=pink, typeface=arial mood=good]

Could try using a bit tooth paste on an area that cant be seen in case it makes it worse. I know this works on music Cd's that have been scratched.Or maybe get some rubbing compound that people use on car bodywork.

Anything containing a fine abrasive powder should do the trick. Very fine wet and dry paper or bath cleaner might work although something like 'Vim' could be a bit coarse.

the ferreterias sell a liquid for this problem

Thanks to all for your suggestions. Looks like I have a little shopping and some delicate DiY to do after Tuesday! At least here the world does not shut down for what seemed to be three weeks back in the UK.......
