How to clean and polish my Yoyos

I believe raw Aluminum definitely needs polishing from tarnish over time, but I don’t think anodized aluminum really needs that much care and maintenance?

I got some Buff in a Monkeyfinger purchase at some point (or from random bonus items in a purchase), but I’ve never used it. I am curious if anyone has done this?

Applying the BUFF is easy. Simply grab a clean cloth and follow the steps below:

  1. Ensure that your yo-yo is clean and dry.
  2. Wrap the clean cloth around your index finger and gently dab it into the BUFF. A little goes a long way!
  3. Gently wipe the BUFF across the entire surface of the yo-yo. Be sure not to miss a spot and keep the BUFF as even as possible.
  4. [Optional] For the best results, allow the BUFF to dry for 30-60 minutes.
  5. Using a different part of the clean cloth, gently rub the entire surface to remove any excess BUFF and to polish the yo-yo.
  6. Enjoy your shiny throw!

Note: the BUFF will not fill in, cover, or repair dings and scratches on the surface of a yo-yo.

Dylan K had a pretty favorable review of it, and tried both raw and anodized.
