Duravo luggage is known for its durability and strength, but even the toughest luggage can get scratched up over time. If your Duravo carry-on has some unsightly scratches, don't worry - there are a few easy things you can do to remove them.

Removing Scratches from your Duravo Flexshell™

1. Assess the Scratch

• Determine the severity of the scratch. If it's a minor surface scratch, you may be able to remove it with a simple buffing pad. For deeper scratches, you may need to use a more abrasive method.

2. Clean the Flexshell™

• Use a damp cloth or microfiber towel to clean the Flexshell™ of your luggage. This will remove any dirt or debris that could interfere with the scratch-removal process.

3. Use a Magic Eraser

• For minor scratches, try using a Magic Eraser. Wet the Magic Eraser and gently rub it over the scratch in a circular motion. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, as this could leave a dull area on the Flexshell™ material.

4. Use a Scratch Repair Kit

• For deeper scratches, you may need to use a scratch repair kit. These kits typically come with a variety of sanding pads and polishes. Similar to car scratch repair, start with a rough pad and progress to fine pads and polishes.  Follow the instructions included in the kit to remove the scratch.

Removing Scratches from the Wheels/Wheel Housing

1. Clean the Wheels and Wheel Housing

• Use a damp cloth or microfiber towel to clean the wheels and wheel housing of your luggage. This will remove any dirt or debris that could interfere with the scratch-removal process.

2. Use a Fine-Grit Sandpaper

• For minor scratches, try using fine-grit sandpaper. Wet the sandpaper and gently rub it over the scratch in a circular motion. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, as this could damage the wheels or wheel housing.

3. Use a Scratch Repair Kit

• For deeper scratches, you may need to use a scratch repair kit. These kits typically come with a variety of sanding pads and polishes. Follow the instructions included in the kit to remove the scratch.

Tips for Preventing Scratches

To minimize future scratches, consider these preventative tips:

• Use a Luggage Cover: A protective luggage cover can help shield your carry-on from scuffs and scratches, especially during rough handling at airports. Make sure to use one that’s sized specifically for carry-on suitcases.

• Be Cautious of Rough Surfaces: Avoid dragging your luggage on particularly rough or uneven surfaces when possible, as this can cause unnecessary damage to both the wheels and the FlexShell™.
• Regular Cleaning: Frequently cleaning your luggage after trips helps remove dirt and particles that can cause abrasion over time.

By following these tips, you can help keep your Duravo luggage looking its best for years to come.
