When my moose came it had a balsh finish in the the inside that feels like a chalkboard. So I want to some how remove it. I don’t want to hand sand it because I don’t want to introduce any vibe. It was my fault for not specifying so it’s not magicyoyos fault. It’s slowly coming off with play but I want it gone. Moose on the top and general yo prestige prototype on the bottom for comparison of shine ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/1/2/b12dd2d5cc90acbe479850316d7fbd34333948dc.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/6/a/d6a72b75d26177f157983cedd313e7102c2c442e.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/9/d/29def81152ecbdc5d17244caacaa96809a34a453.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/4/9/e49768873b573b4b744b8a3145603d719eb16f67.jpeg) ---

I would think about trying a Scotch Brite pad. They are not aggressive enough to remove a bunch of material and introduce a vibe. I use a scotch brite belt when i am surface finishing knives.All it does is improve surface finish rather than change the profile of a blade. There are also varying grades of Scotch Brite so if you have any doubts just go witb the mildest one - i believe the white pads are the most gentle. I have also heard of denim being used as a very mild abrasive and im sure you have some jeans lying around your house. The last option i can thing of is finding sombody with a buffing wheel and polishing compound. These compounds will only remove the smallest surface imperfections and are generally necessary if your looking for a really nice shine. ---

When I got my copper endeavour, it was already quiet tarnished so I used this stuff called Brasso: Brasso Metal Polish Wadding 75 g - Pack of 3 [Brasso Metal Polish Wadding 75 g - Pack of 3 : Amazon.co.uk: Grocery](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0082AA2EE/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_PvQVCbRBC2QF7) You can apply it with an old rag on the metal and then buff it off with a different dry rag. This can all be done by hand without power tools and is less intrusive than any kind of abrasive paper. ---
