Hey, what i do is the same but i suggest you dont use sand paper that is real ruff it could scratch up the yoyo so first make sure its metal take the most less sand paper you could find and rub agianst rims slowly and with a little pressure and so on so forth after a while you will notice your rims are shiny ;D and go over every section 🙂 ---

in the yoyonation post, i have results from my hitman, and i used sand paper fromm 120 grit, all the way up to 2000 grit, then i used steel wool, then you polish it with chemicals… then a perfect shine, i actually need to do i again, but im so busy, with the whole string making thing.
