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. ---

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. ---

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 ---

That’s not a mirror polish. More like a shiny satin. ---

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.
