My raw/silver YYR Sleipnir was covered in dead skin and dirt, so i decided to get it off with some rubbing alcohol and now it has completely lost its shine, I was wondering If anyone knows of any methods to polish it up and restore it to its glory, and if I killed it forever with the alcohol let me know lol

For future reference don’t put volatile chemicals on raw metal.

Never found that that hurt anything. I’ve used lighter fluid to clean both plastic and raw metal yoyos, as well as anodized yoyos. Sometimes there’s a light film residue but it readily wipes off.
