One driblet . Five minutes in a sack with your key . Three months of regular use . This is all it takes for an iPhone ’s backplate to go from a mirror - comparable radiancy to a scratched - to - Hades eyesore . Here ’s how to sterilize it .
MacRumors forum memberShenaniganz08salvaged an iPhone 3 yard from eBay , sanding , buffing and polishing it back from the threshold of a living in a typesetter’s case , which would be dumb , because cases are dumb . ( I mean , not really , but that ’s kind of the premiss of this whole process , right ? Anyway . ) Here ’s what you call for :
• Sandpaper 320(or 500),800,1000,1500,2000,2500,3000 gritstone
• 3 M Rubbing compound
• Machine Polisher ( Power Drill or diminished pilot )
• Microfibers
• Sticky tack and or tape
What ’s great about this is that you do n’t ask to buy almost anything . Half the hooey you need — the microfibers , the polishing disc and the rubbing compound — is included in a $ 153 M headlight renovation kit , and you could use just about any stinky household practice for the buffing stage .
In any case , the results are stunning , and the documentationmeticulous , so if you ’ve got a few hours , a few sawbuck and an iPhone that looks like a piece of shitty ocean glass , why not ? [ MacrumorsviaGadget Lab ]
