⭐ Overview
Your TI-TIUM mirror is crafted from solid Grade 5 titanium, the same alloy used in aerospace, medical tools and high-performance equipment.
It is corrosion-proof, weather-proof and built to last for decades.
Like all polished metal surfaces, normal pocket use can create light micro-scratches over time.
The good news: titanium surfaces can be refreshed easily at home.
This guide shows you how to keep your mirror looking new — forever.
🔧 1. Routine Cleaning
To remove fingerprints, smudges or light marks:
You’ll need:
- A soft microfiber cloth
- A few drops of water or a glass-safe cleaning spray
Steps:
- Wipe the surface gently in small circles.
- Dry with the clean side of the cloth.
This takes 5–10 seconds and restores everyday clarity.
✨ 2. Refreshing the Mirror Surface (Micro-Scratch Removal)
Light micro-scratches from keys, pockets or daily carry can be removed with simple metal polish.
You’ll need:
- A microfiber cloth
- Any standard metal polish:
Autosol, Simichrome, MAAS, Flitz, Mothers Mag Polish, etc. - A small pea-sized amount is enough
Steps:
- Apply a tiny amount of polish to the cloth.
- Buff the mirror with gentle circular motions for 1–3 minutes.
- Wipe off all residue using the clean side of the cloth.
- Inspect under light — the clarity should be fully restored.
💡 What this fixes:
- Fine pocket scratches
- Light haze
- Swirls and micro-lines
- Minor wear from everyday carry
Titanium responds extremely well to polishing, and you can repeat this process whenever needed.
🔨 3. For Heavier Marks (Optional Advanced Care)
In rare cases where a deeper mark appears (for example, from rubbing against a sharp metal object), the surface can still be restored — but requires a gentler approach.
You’ll need:
- Ultra-fine sanding film (2000–5000 grit only)
- Metal polish
- Microfiber cloth
Steps:
- Lightly sand the affected area using 2000–5000 grit in smooth circles.
- The mirror will look hazy — this is normal.
- Apply metal polish and buff until the mirror shine returns.
⚠️ Warning:
Do not use coarse sandpaper or steel wool.
Only ultra-fine finishing grit should ever be used.
🛡️ 4. Long-Term Durability
Titanium naturally forms a protective oxide layer.
This means your mirror:
- Won’t rust
- Won’t chip
- Won’t shatter
- Can be refreshed again and again
- Is designed to last for life
Even with years of use, you can always restore the surface.
🎒 5. Tips for Daily Carry
To keep the mirror pristine for as long as possible:
- Store it in a separate pocket, or
- Use a microfiber cloth or sleeve (optional)
- Avoid rubbing directly against very sharp objects
Regular light polishing keeps the mirror looking showroom-new.
♻️ 6. Lifetime Care Philosophy
Your TI-TIUM mirror is designed to be maintained, not replaced.
A few minutes of care will keep it in perfect condition for decades.
