How to Remove Scratches From Armetale Pieces

Wilton Armetale serving pieces add beauty and functionality to your dinner table, whether it's a special occasion or just another day. The products are composed of 10 different metals, the main metal being aluminum. Similar to other metal serving pieces, the Wilton Armetale brand can become scratched during use. While these scratches ultimately add to the character of your pieces as they age, you can remove or reduce the appearance of scratches with careful techniques and appropriate supplies.
