Prevent scratches from your ipod
Got an hour, a kitchen sponge with one of those green abrasive backs and some elbow grease? Then Australia’s Adam Podnar has a permanent fix so the back of your iPod never shows fingerprints, tiny scratches or, as he puts it, “the sweaty hand on the back of an expensive MP3 player look.” He says within and hour, you can give it a brushed finish. It looks cool, and Apple has promised him that it won’t void your warranty.
To see what it looks like, head to the picture page.
There’s an excellent tutorial that’s full of pictures (including some nifty chrome designs you can etch, er, brush into the back of the iPod),too.
You can check out the guide he put together on how to brush your iPod here.

Shouldn’t the title of this article be “Add scratches to your iPod?

As a former owner of a DeLorean sports car, which sported brushed stainless steel bodies from the factory, I can state with absolute conviction that fingerprints DO still show up on brushed metal surfaces.
Any DeLorean owner will state the most annoying part of the car is contantly having to clean fingerprints off it, especially at car shows.

Maybe but it looks much better than the polished it comes with.
I’m actually trying this myself to my ipod this week.

This freakin things sucks!! I tried this on my 60gb iPod photo and it messed up the laser engraving, left huge deep scratches down the back of my iPod! I tried using iCleaner and other scratch removal stuff but none of them worked. DO NOT TRY THIS it’s a scam!!

Worked great for me. I resurfaced the back on my ipod and now it has a cool brushed look to it. No more scratches or fingerprints on mine.

I was wondering if there was a place where you can get it professionally done. Im not talking about a place where you can mail it in, but like a booth at a mall or something. If you can, can you tell me a place that is close to zip code 10956. That is in Rockland County in NY. Thanks

Is it really that important and necessary? I don’t think so, when ur ipod just works fine
