If I strip my Yoyos ano, can I just go ahead and Polish it or do I need to use 3M Scratch remover?

Is the scratch remover necessary?

You just polish it. I don’t see how that 3m stuff would help on raw aluminum anyways…

Ok.

Apparently if you sand your yoyos you’re supposed to use it.

It would get rid of the sandpaper lines supposedly.
