Hi guys , anyone else have these marks on the side panel on the GT Rocket ? you can see them but you can’t feel it looks like the start of pitting on the aluminium

Use a fine 3m pad and stroke it across with the grain. Makes it look like new again. That piece seems heavy for aluminum, l think it is stainless.

Probably for a month…. Corrosion just doesn’t rub way… that actual rectangular bit that says Rocket on it is metal it’s magnetic but the other part of it isn’t, I sent an email to my dealer three days ago no reply yet.
 
Red Scotchbrite does the trick. I use it all the time in my job as a cnc machinist for applying grain to aluminum parts. I’ve also used it to repair minor cosmetic damage to the aluminum on my rocket 3. Be very careful to maintain the grain.
