the rims became tarnished which happens to any metal that is un anodized or blasted of some sort. it will happen over time but u have to get some metal polisher like never tarnish and that will make them extremely shiny.

Thats called tarnishing, all bare metals (without protective coating or anodize) would do that, thats normal.
you can try to polish it if you want the original shine back, use a metal polish.

1. Calm down. It’s normal. Happens to most of us.
2. I don’t think you should use the star censor. It’s not allowed here.

I used umm… just some random brand of polisher I had lying around, and it worked fine.
any brand should work. Brasso, brilliant, etc.
just saying… I polished my 888 after satining it because I wanted to give it that mirror finish, and it made it grind terrible, so I re-satined it. (used 600 grit sand paper to get rid of the polish)

To help make your yoyo minty fresh, polish with toothpaste. Seriously though, the same stuff that polishes your teeth should polish out the tarnish.

itll make the yoyo sticky. DONT DO IT! grinds, no, it might get in bearing, probably would be slowed down on string.

Not really. It’s no different than using most other polishes if you wipe it clean.

after satining my 888, it grinded super well. then I polished it, and it didn’t do so great. so I re satined it.
so… if you want a nice grindable rim, I’d say satin it.

Toothpaste is a polish. It won’t make a grindable surface. For that you need:

The issue with using toothpaste is not that it will make the yo-yo sticky, but that it is a very mild polishing paste. A proper metal polish like Mother’s aluminum polish or Nevr-Dull would be your best bet.
