just grab some non-abrasive metal polish

What would that exactly do? Would that just get rid of the watermarks and leave the text intact? I've never heard of a non-abrasive metal polish before..

I think it's more a matter of it being "fine" and not "coarse", so at to best match the general finish of the cup. Yes, all metal polishes need be abrasive to get the job done, but some are more abrasive than others.

I'm still not sure about that metal polish Grawk recommended me. What are the chances of the text rubbing off as well? Wouldn't like to ruin these.

 

[sampson_smith]

As the text is etched and not painted on/applied to the surface, it cannot rub off. But it can be smoothed out/polished a bit and I would expect this would ruin its finish. PROCEED CAREFULLY!

Always be careful with metal polish, but a non-abbrasive metal polish isn't going to wear down the cups enough to affect the etching. That said, I wasn't recommending that polish, just using it as an example of non-abbrasive metal polish. I forget the brand I used back in the army.

 

[sampson_smith]

I thought the brand name was "spit".

good infantry soldiers always do everything they can to minimize time wasted on tasks like that

small correction to the list: I did not mean to imply that I own both the 503 & 504, that comment simply pointed out how the two orders were related. I only have the 504
