Anyone use Applesauce polish on their iPhone?

[wyzard]

Good afternoon.

I'm wondering if anyone has used the Applesauce polish on the chrome around their iPhone to remove any scratches? How does it work? Interested in possibly getting some to clean up some minor scratches.

Thanks.

If you want, why not just do this.... http://www.macrumors.com/iphone/2007...ed-metal-trim/ I finally got the balls to do it and it looks fantastic, much better than the chrome.

the brushed metal looks awesome in that pic, but I bet it looks like crap in real life. I wouldn't reccomend doing this because once you start, u can't go back, unless your phone is really, really scratched now.

The applesauce polish is just a polish that is named Applesauce as it's made for iPods etc. Here's a link.... http://www.applesaucepolish.com/

Ok, I might make a new thread about this...but I did the "scratch your iPhone more" trick to buff out the scratches and make a mettalic edge instead of the lame chrome.

Im not joking, it looks AWESOME! I'll post some pics if anybody is interested, but seriously, if you don't like the stock "bling" and finger smudges and scratches, you should do this.

It only takes 20 minutes tops, I spent $7 at Target and my iPhone looks a million times better. It isn't scratched at all anymore and looks way classier.

I don't know how else to put it, but if you are as furious with the scratches as I was, you should give it a try, its scary at first, but SO worth it!

(thanks for listening to me rant, I'll help anyone out if they are curious!)

Let's make it clear.

The shiny edges of the iPhone is not "chromed".... It is just polished steel (stainless I assume).....

if it is chromed then you can't brush up the finish.
