[yomagic]

meh no offense but it could use a better polishing.

[Cyclontzy]

I like it, but it's def more satined then polished haha

[blake24]

considering the tools i had in my posetion at the time i did this it is not bad lol.  i kknow it can be alot better im going to redo it and will post new pics

[Cyclontzy]

honestly could get a better shine with just a rag and mothers..and some time and patience.

[blake24]

lol, well i know you know 10 times more than i do about modding and doing anythang like that, but this was done on a wheel if that makes sense.  i had to do it by hand and spin the yoyo myself which caused it not to be as even, im redoing it tonight i will post the results and hopefull i want get any smart comments 

[blake24]

So i bought some 800-2000 grit sandpaper, some mothers to polish it up and heres the result.  i took my time at it but as you can see their are a fine lines, how do i get these out exactly? do i need to get to 2500 grit? thanks

[yoyospirit]

Nice job but if you want it to really shine, buy some 0000 grit steel wool.

[blake24]

i will do that lol i need to get those tiny lines out they are buggin me

Mo ought to get in on this, he's the master of polish.  I know in the past he's used wet paper to polish (soak the sandpaper in water before use).  I've also used jeweler's rouge on metals and gotten a pretty nice shine.  I'll turn the half fast enough to get the rouge to sort of "melt" onto the yo-yo surface, then work the rouge in with a cloth while the half is still spinning.

I couldn't agree more. Mo's managed to make things look mirror quality.

All you need is polishing compound, a buffing wheel and a power drill. I polished a Crossbones to mirror finish w/ that and I'm trying to find the pic...

Edit: Found it!
