How do you remove MTB Shoe stud marks form tiles?

[greatwhite]

Merry Christmas All!

 

While meddling with my Shimano M181B shoes, I slipped and left the mark below - A kind donation from the metal in the studs on the front of the shoe.

 

 

I've tried all manner of cleaning agent - meths, thinners, Jik, Handy Andy etc, but to no avail. I think the metal (What ever it is) has been forced into the glazing on the tile.

 

The thought that goes through my mind is to use and acid to eat out the mark given that ceramics are generally fairly acid resistant and most metals are not. This is fairly extreme though and was wondering if anyone had a less risky (potential) solution I might try before jumping off the deep, as it were.

 

The shoe model is mentioned because it might give some insight into the metal used and therefore a solution - although I'll concede it is a long shot!

 

Thanks

Try a pencil eraser - the type that takes pen off - rub lightly and a lot...

OPEN PLAN.. That way you can enjoy the couch, she can enjoy your company but most of all.. YOU don't give up the TV haha. I usually do the cooking, she does the dishes. We swapped roles ever since the nearly poisoned me with her first attempt at making me coffee

How to remove scratch marks...

Step one, visit a tile shop,

Step two, replace marked tiles,

 

Or even things out and scratch the rest of the tiles

[ZooBear]

Maybe try a product called Purge, available at some tile shops. try it with a scrubbing brush. works well on polished porcelain tiles, but yours is a ceramic, so not too sure

AS above or otherwise a bit of rubbing compound - fine or medium

 

or first try rubbing with damp cloth with some course salt.

Flat pedals and ordinary shoes?

There is a pink paste stuff that I found in the kitchen cupboard called chemco?

Use that with a scotch pad , it should do the trick.

Worked on some marks left on tiles from the metal feet of patio chairs.
