You can’t satin AND mirror polish.
Either way though, your work looks nice. Nice decision call on leaving the inside portion of the rims alone.
Wow, very very nice, great job.
Well i geuss you would call it both a satin and mirror polish, since i satined it to get all the anodization off, then i used a higher grit sandpaper, a rubbing compound and a metal polish on it. It grinds amazingly well considering how shiny it is. Im still on debate on whether im gonna do the same to the inside of the rims though. It has a really hard shape to satin because of all the bumps.
just leave it.
How do you do it? I’m very interested in experimenting with one of my yoyos.
I have a video on my YouTube showing my setup, and basically how I did it. I might make a video showing exactly what I did, if I satin another yoyo. Btw I used 400 grit then a rubbing compound
Shiny!!! I love it!
That’s not a mirror polish. More like a shiny satin.
I know it’s been a long while, but what’s your YT channel?
That guy hasn’t read the forum in years so I did some detective work for you, this is their youtube but I don’t see a video on the genesis, but there is this one.
It’s waaaaay easier using easy off oven cleaner to remove the anodizing opposed to sanding it off. Then when you mirror polish it with metal polish, it’s actually left with a mirror finish. No sanding

Thanks! Your detective work was more fruitful than mine.
