Keep it like that. Or you can pay and it to the modders and let them satin it. Because you don’t have a drill right? ---

Yeah, satin it, or don’t get the scratches off. I don’t really care about scratches that much, unless they drained the playability some how. :wink: ---

IMO dings give a yoyo character ;D THe only real way to restore it like new would to either buy a new one ☹ or satin it and get it re-anodized. Phew, big word ;D
