A DRI-YWET showed up in my mailbox today. As much as I liked the tarnish, I had to give her a bit of a scrub. 🙂 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/a/f/caf9b2d62c8734bfbfdcc718c6169e19062cf4e8.jpeg) ---

This thread seams like the appropriate place for this- I received an obsidian 54 in a trade, and want to tarnish it back to its original color. How would I do that? ---

Is there a way to remove tarnish from a plated yoyo without the needing of a special remover. Like any household items I could use or do I have to go buy tarnish remover? ---
