Removing scratches

My son drop it on some sand and the new yo-yo has some fine scratch on the stainless steel rims. Would it be possible to remove it
With polish or something?

Probably not. Sorry mate.

Its stainless steel so its probably just the anodization that’s scratched off. Guessing it will still play just fine, so its just a little loved.

Ya, best you could probably do from there it remove the rest of the anno…. Make the rims silver.

As mentioned, this is the anodization that’s scratched you can absolutely polish it if you don’t mind your rims being silver. Many people really like the look of polished rims. But it would be a process.

Some other people said to remove the ano. This video I found helpfull https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SntTC97fcn0

I would recommend sanding the rims if you’re going to remove the coating. It’s easy to do and you don’t have to worry about the body of the yoyo.
