Hey, i have recently got a clyw otter and i think it scratched against my phone case and now it has this pink line, doesn’t affect play at all but kills the sleek mint look of the yoyo, any tips? i’ve already tried soap and acetone, none worked. this thing won’t get out!! it’s not an actual ding or scratch it just wont go away

Even if you can’t feel it, you could have scraped off the outer layer of anodization. Nothing you can really do to fix it unfortunately, but it’s a big deal, just look at it as a love mark.

It’s weird because the clyw finish is usually pretty durable.
