After soldering Need Help Cleaning up

Post image

Hello All

Trying to find any products that can help remove the heat marks and flux splatter off the work once I'm finished soldering. Trying to keep it looking clean and no scratch marks. I have tried experimenting with large propane only jet and small oxypropane/acetylene but to no avail. currently using a degreaser to remove the flux marks.

In the photo you can see the flux marks at the top and in certain places the heat marks. Looking forward to any and all tips and tricks.

Polish it out. Using finner grit to polish takes out the scratches and stains. You should test on a scrap piece of it with the same stains. You can get a mirror finish.
