Guess what I did today lol

Well...... I was doing laundry and had some free time to myself while waiting for the laundry to finish (I was BORED, okay? lol)
So I decided to polish the backside of my wife's old ipod touch, this is the 1st generation ipod touch and is about 3 1/2 years old, I did not get pictures of it before hand because I wasn't thinking about posting this up, but I polished it and got amazing results. I even opti coated it LOL

Tools used:
Griot's Garage 3" polisher
Meguiar's 3" MF pad
Meguiar's M105
Optimum Opti-Coat
Lake Country CCS Red pad
Plush MF towel

This before shot I pulled off of google, it resembles the condition my wife's ipod was in:

And after with opti coat applied:

Just for kicks, this is what my MF pad looked like afterwards:

So there you have it, it is possible to polish up ipod touch after all, haha.

Nah, that's just what happens when you polish uncoated metal.
