Okay so

[Littleairjordan1]

I used a brillo pad to remove the protective film off of my kickstand. Overall it looks pretty good but i want it to look great. Would u guys reccomend sanding it down or polishing it?

 

[bjboucher]

I'be seen someone polish theirs. It looked pretty good.

 

[Littleairjordan1]

I did put a couple of bad scratches into it.

 

[Littleairjordan1]

Help?

brasso...then it will look like a nice, shiny, Evo kickstand.

Polish.....Brasso or Mothers alum.polish.

If i sanded it down would it get rid of the scratches

Others have posted that they used sand paper successfully. May as well try it.

Use different grades of paper. Start at maybe 600 if the scratches are really bad, if not then 800/1000 and move to 2000 or higher. Then use a polishing compound.


Tape the **** out of the entire phone do you don't scratch the plastic accidentally, trust me.

Yew, pics after done please. You got a lot of great advice in your other Kickstand thread: http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-thunderbolt/87217-my-kickstand.html. Try one of the suggestions.

 

[Littleairjordan1]

Sorry I'm only 15, don't really no what I'm doing with this, and I don't have much time on my hands.

 

[Chrisy]

I'm just saying, you're stressing over it like it's a choice of whether to take your relative off of life support. Just try one of the many suggestions offered to you and see how it goes. You were given very detailed steps on what to do, several times, in several threads. It seems you are either ignoring all the advice or simply not reading the threads given to you.

It's not a major crisis. There are solutions. Do them and move on with your polished kick stand. No need to post multiple threads and keep posing, "help" after members here have offered solutions.

 

[Littleairjordan1]

Lol dude I don't have time to read all of these threads sorry. I'm not den sure if I have half this stuff.

 

[Chrisy]

So you ask for help, people post threads and suggestions and you don't have the time to read them. You certainly have the time to post. I'm done with this thread. Good luck.

 

[Littleairjordan1]

Hence ALL of the threads. I have read most of them. Relax.
