Thanks to the guys one the one drop forum, I got some advice on using mothers mag & alum polish on my new nickel plated od dietz. Before: [http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7013/6609546233\_98c15ff5f6.jpg](http://www.flickr.com/photos/davetefft/6609546233/) [One Drop Dietz](http://www.flickr.com/photos/davetefft/6609546233/) by [davetefft](http://www.flickr.com/people/davetefft/), on Flickr Beautiful out of the box, but I wanted that elusive bling throw… After I spent about 30+ minutes polishing both sides with mothers and a couple terry clothes: [http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7147/6685223477\_052013bb5a.jpg](http://www.flickr.com/photos/davetefft/6685223477/) [http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7154/6685226863\_145f97e311.jpg](http://www.flickr.com/photos/davetefft/6685226863/) I will probably play with it for awhile before i do any more polishing, I might try to get a little more mirror finish out of it. Thanks for looking, Dave ---

Looks fantastic. Get yourself some way cool sunglasses. A yoyo that shiny needs dark sunglasses to complete the effect! ---
