I have a blue yomega dash and I’m going to give it to my friend but the rims are really beat up and in bad shape. I would hate to give it to him looking like that so can someone help me out with getting them out. ---

There is no way to get rid of dings/scratches/dents. Just gotta live with them. The best you can do is sand or file down burrs to make them smoother, but that won’t really make the dings look any better. ---

Just ask yoyospirt to polish the Yoyo. It wouldn’t have and ano on it but it’s will help with the dings and scuffs. ---

I bought a peak that was heavily damaged a while back, I challenge anyone to find the damage! Its no longer there so you won’t. Rim damage can easily be removed. ---

The job would be worth more than buying a good new yoyo like the speed o Holic. ---

Mostly I wouldn’t try to repaint - it wears off. It’s anodized, not painted in the first place. Just smooth the dings and leave it raw. ---
