I have a few small (light)scratches on the outside perimeter of my 18-135mm lens. I really do not see a problem with my images. But how do i remove them. Some recommend toothpaste, others very fine sandpaper 4000 etc. If use of toothpaste is recommended with sodium bicarbonate or without, with fluoride or not etc. And some recommend a water isopropyl mixture which i tried and did not work.. Thanks for your help!!

Do nothing. As long as your images are unaffected I would ignore it.

Sorry ... didn't mean to rub it in!

Have you tried the lens out since? If so, how are the images?

cheers, TREVOR
