Mirrored surfaces aren’t suitable for toys, they get all smudgy and gross.

Is there anyway to apply something that will minimize finger prints or a relatively less destructive method of refinishing? (compared to something like sand paper satin finish)

I got u. Get a scotch brite pad any color and spray it or the Yoyo with wd40. Scrub away. In 10-15 min say hello to a beautiful satin finish
