Todd Dailey – Weblog – Blog Archive – Restore your iPod nano to new condition with a $4 can of Brasso — Oh brother…
So, you have a black nano and now realize that you should have purchased a case or a cover for it. But, it’s too late now, it’s already covered with barely visible scratches and marks that you can only see under a 500-watt lamp. Oh no! What will you do? Never fear, I put my nano at risk for your sake. I had read on Slashdot and a few other places that Brasso can restore an iPod to like-new condition, but I didn’t believe it myself, and I was a bit worried that it would have some sort of bad reaction with my iPod, such as melting it. :) After all, a $4 can of Brasso can’t compete with $20 third party creams and polishes, can it? Read on!
Nice to see Brasso is still around. I have polished the brightwork on MG TD’s, Morgans and even the engine-turned bits on the powerful bit of a friend’s SS100 Jaguar with Brasso. That was fifty years ago and it was the best on the market, then.
“Geez..who cares about a scratched iPOD?”
People who buy iPods care a lot about image. If they didn’t, they’d purchase one of the numerous other players with more memory, more features and at a much lower price.
Yeah, what a product! We used it in the army to take scratches out of brass belt buckles. It really works!
