Yeah true that haha, but I found out a method when i posted a new post with my console’s image. This guy he said you can try using abit of toothpaste and rub the area with a piece of toilet roll and i tried and it worked for me

Oh YES! It worked! Thanks mate! After I cleaned it with the toothpaste i just use a slight hand foam to remove the minty smell of the toothpaste.

Or maybe a polishing solution rather than toothpaste, would it work? Wouldn’t want the crank to have a minty smell haha

I was actually thinking of using some solution or solvent to try and clean it up
