Did yet another polish job for ScottRancourt a while back and just got around to posting it. Now, this DM has had quite the unfortunate life. It literally had the WORST rims I’ve ever seen on a YoyoJam, and now has quite the vibe now that the hub is disconnecting from the rest of the yoyo on one side. Nontheless I decided to help this poor little yoyo in the only way I really could, which was make it feel pretty again 8) THBHBHBHBHBHHBHBHBHBHBHHBHB ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/1/8/718a51e5a10572a214e207034a1abaff5bf31838.jpeg) I swear this picture was taken 25 minutes into it, the rims were THAT gunky 😛 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/7/6/0760275e4cbd111d9e9958d6884a94d7a9e6ca5b.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/b/7/7b7c4e0cb122b987e2aee0b3e7be67f1599a8797.jpeg) ---

The hub issue is really just an irrelevant deteail about the unfortunate history of this particular yoyo. It has nothing to do with the polish job. ---
