I polished a dv888 and made spikes on the axle. So you can do madator style.

Aww, everyone’s taking my spike axle idea…Just kidding lol. Looks great for your first polish! Also, for the axle, it’s better if only the spike pokes out of the hole, that way, you can always go back to the old axle without it coming out of the hole every time you try to screw it together.
