Tim L Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Hi I recently bought a Dremel and stupidly put the wrong attachment on to get rid of the rust on the face of my Mack Daddy Forged wedge...This rust came but so did the layer of paint on the face of the club leaving a shiny finish!! I love that wedge so can anyone recommend a good type of paint to use for these wedges? https://www.golfbidder.co.uk/callaway-mack-daddy-forged-satin-chrome-wedge?dexterity=267&loft_wedge=183&standard_flex=206&bounce=573&condition_type=250&spid=109085&utm_term=&utm_campaign=UK+-+Smart+Shopping&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&hsa_acc=1566783831&hsa_cam=6510743742&hsa_grp=&hsa_ad=&hsa_src=x&hsa_tgt=&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwps-zBhAiEiwALwsVYf_ZVLcNqyYarSNifvviH3peJlKLzquTS5h6WtYEdSBOErXipvlX9BoC3zgQAvD_BwE Also what is the best way to use the Dremel to remove rust without damaging the club face?

Tim L Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 Here is the state of the face any help would really be appreciated Rob Person 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnosil Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 It’s not paint, it is a chrome plating. The only way to “fix” would be to strip the plating and replace, but you have also removed the micro grooves. The finish on the face gets worn from use, best thing is to leave it alone. If you want to remove rust, soak it in coke or search for other chemicals that can remove the rust. the best way to use a Drexel is to not use one.

Tim L Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 Thank you appreciate it. Shame I can't restore it easily And I'll stick to cleaning and buffing with the Dremel only! Rob Person 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of club refurbishes these days that you can send that to for re-plating. That being said, it will rust and look nice over time if you're into that look. Some people swear that it adds spin.

I wonder if the tests used new or old wedges to compare?

StrokerAce Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 if you want to clean your club I highly recommend bar keeper's friend. I also made the dremel mistake and found that the BKF works wonders. cnosil 1 Quote Driver- Titleist TSR3 10* Woods- Cobra LTD 3w 15*, 5W 19* Irons- Titleist 718 AP2 (5i-50*) Wedges- Callaway Jaws Raw (54/58) Putter- Wilson Infinite Grant Park Ball- Maxfli Tour X Buggy- Motocaddy M7 GPS Remote Electric Caddy Bag- Motocaddy Dry-Series Proudly testing for 2024: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New wedges that were exposed to condition that led to various degrees of rust. They also did some tests with old wedges. I was one of the testers. https://mygolfspy.com/labs/tested-does-rust-add-spin/ rkj427 1 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: Paradym AI Smoke Max HL 16.5* w/MCA TENSEI AV Series Blue Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Render w/VA Composites Baddazz Backup Putters: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe, Milled Collection RSX 2 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
