Don’t have one. Sponge so much cheaper. Plus I did the dishes afterwards. Two birds, one sponge.

I used a Scotch-Brite heavy duty scrub sponge. It’s made by 3M and can be bought in singles. This is a very easy cosmetic thing to do. The most time consuming part is masking the iPhone with tape. For that I’d suggest blue painters tape. It left both the glass and plastic residue free.

might use those for round 2, but Double-Sided Sponge had been training for months for this event and I didn't want to disappoint him.

I wouldn't recommend it because i haven't tried it, but if you go to luismayhem's youtube video you'll see that some people have already tried that and it seemed to have worked out alright for them. No guarantees, though, and no pics so far.

I'm guessing that would just restore the chrome finish, though, and I'm not as fascinated with chrome as Apple is. I don't think this tip is for everyone, but I definitely found it interesting enough to try.

A kitchen sponge. When u said 2 sided sponge i was just thinking you meant something more coarse. That sounds good. Think i'll do this when i get home. I've never really like the chrome ring. It definitely is the cheapest looking part of the phone. The brushed gives it a look of higher quality. Thanks for the tidbit. By the way, you guys on for the talkcast this week?

I just used a simple kitchen sponge for it…really not that coarse, although by the end of it there was an indentation on the sponge where the green stuff came off 😛 If you're gonna do this, I suggest really taking your time with the strokes so they're nice and straight.

sandpaper would likely do the same, but it might be too rough. I was really just following instructions and then posting my results and pics here.

Was wondering if a piece of fine grain sandpaper would do the same?

I did’nt know that this is possible. Now I know how to eliminate scratches on my iPhone. My phone is kinda scratchy because of carelessness. But other than that I also want to give my phone a new look.

I didn't do a fantastic job and will probably give it a second try, but this is good enough for me for now.
