Minor snail trail removal??

Eventually they all sort of fill in and create a "pocket wash" effect:

If you keep it long enough, it eventually gets scratched enough that it starts looking "new" again in a weird way. The only one I truly regret selling is a Large Classic double lug I sold that was that worn. Such is life.

Pocket wash is awesome. I actually bought all mine used so I wouldn't freak out over getting the snail trails, now I can continue adding to the patina

I think once the snail trails start to form you are supposed to just buy another one ... and another ...
