You'd have to use sandpaper to get past all the scratches then keep sanding it with higher and higher grit sandpaper and then finish with what you did.

Okay so, I’m sure you did ask beforehand but figured I should say this regardless. Don’t do this without talking to the owner. It may just look like he’s doing them a favour but some people have some sentimental value with these things. I also have an old iPod and if they fixed all the scratches and cracks on it, I would actually be pretty mad. Those are memories from when I was a kid and I really value them. Again, I’m sure you don’t really need to hear this, I just wanted to throw this out there :D

[@Bu88leCat23]

I think they did. The way he worded it meant there was no mention of it u til probably after it was done

[@h.317]

Wow the memories!!! The NOSTALGIA

[@iSchmidty13]

I gotta say I’d be really pissed. Now there’s a hard line on the back of the iPod, and if the owner ever wants it to look normal again he’s gonna have to finish polishing it which will remove the logo and all the text from the back.

[@LiquidJeM4031]

I agree

[@Xavieus]

Eh maybe he just did it to show the difference. If he’s a good dude he probs finished the job

[@iSchmidty13]

@@Xavieus but if he finished the job then he's returning a completely de-branded device to the owner, missing the Apple logo and all the info printed on the back.

[@Xavieus]

I doubt it. He wasn’t able to restore it to a high gloss with that polish. That seems to be laser etched into the metal keeping it from blending in unless he went hard as fuck on it intentionally

[@Xavieus]

@@iSchmidty13 what I’m saying is that he can just do the rest of it so there’s no hard line

[@LucyTheCat]

While the results are impressive, the whole point of the back of an iPod is to act as a skidplate, though the cloudyness can be solved with a dab of metal polish, i hear mags aluminium is great for iPods, though they don’t have that where i live so i stick with brasso (not the greatest but for a quick clean it worked) iPods show their wear, just own it

Not for the metal tho, since it’s just polished aluminum to begin with. You would want to use a heavy metal polish, maybe light wet sand with 3000, so all the scratches go the same way. Heavy and light metal polish and this thing will be like new after lol
