When turned and rolled under a good light the hairlines and light scratches from a harsh cleaning still show up. And if a grader is on his toes it&#039;s pretty hard to get it past them. Of course the severity of the harsh cleaning plays a part. The more severe it was the easier it will be to see, the less severe the harder to see.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
