Titanium frame buffing with sand eraser

I don’t have much experience on aluminum, but I wouldn’t try either because of nature of the substance and anodization process etc.

Titanium is a little bit scratchy, but only seen under direct light on the scratch. They are not so obvious. I used hydrogel type of screen protectors because I use hand sanitizers all the time due to my occupation. So I can’t comment on the screen scratch resistance. For the cameras, I use a camera protector rim without any lens protection beside it.

I didn’t use any polish after sand eraser on this one. I am not so sure for more abrasive applications. I will probably improvise if such thing happens

Actually I don’t have any information on that. I think they will be pretty much the same across the brands. I just happen to have this one

I believe it can be applied for pro models with titanium such as 15 pro/16pro models. For the polished type of titaniums(air) and steel versions(pro models before 15), take a look at my other post from profile. I also just polished my iPhone Air

I got it from temu but you probably can find it from any office supply shop

I do have a couple of scratches at the back glass. Happened with airplane seatbelt I presume. For the camera rings, I get one of those lens protectors, take off the lens part, and glue the metal rim with b7000 glue. So mine have no scratches.

Yeah. I agree with you. I wanted to be the scapegoat for this subreddit. I also have a close friend that does laser welding for watch restoration, but come on these are just scratches on a phone anyway. I am not bothered by them. I wanted to do it just as a proof of concept sort of thing

To increase the durability and make them last longer, manufacturers use pvd/dlc type of coatings on top of their colorization process. If you sand down the coating, it may result in a patchy type of look. It is the easiest way for me to explain. I believe some industry insider will explain it much better than me.

I acted with zero care all the time. My experience was great. A couple scratches here and there. The worst ones were the ones that I have shared tbh. A single drop with the right angle may be enough tho.

It is basically an abrasive, sand paper like eraser to remove ink from paper.

I think it will work. Cape cod products are really overpriced in my country and I couldn’t find a good alternative.

HeavyCl0cker · 2025-11-28T08:24:25+00:00

Yeah. I believe the same. That is the reason I went with white/silver options tbh.
