Been looking for a way to protect the finish on anodized throws, to maintain their vibrance and such. Been reading about Monkeyfinger Buff but it’s difficult to get, so would something like Turtle Wax work? If you guys have some suggestions it would be much appreciated! ---

Wax to protect anodizing on yo-yos is wholly unnecessary. If you’re worrying about the color fading I wouldn’t. Wax in general won’t do much to protect the anodize or add to the color. ---

how long would you say one lasts? shipping can get expensive so i rarely spend on anything other than throws. ---

That actually looks like Airetic finger loop rosin - it’s supposed to be applied to the loop of nylon strings to prevent it from slipping off your finger. ---

Here’s a reply I made about using the Monkeyfinger Buff a while back! > [@How to clean and polish my Yoyos](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/how-to-clean-and-polish-my-yoyos/289234/5): > > I believe raw Aluminum definitely needs polishing from tarnish over time, but I don’t think anodized aluminum really needs that much care and maintenance? I got some Buff in a Monkeyfinger purchase at some point (or from random bonus items in a purchase), but I’ve never used it. I am curious if anyone has done this? Applying the BUFF is easy.
