Just "Blasted" my Bezel!

[Ra1nMaKeR]

O my iPhone 4 bezel was very scuffed and marked up from a bad case. So, I decided to take a sponge and blast the bezel. I can no longer see any marks! It looks brand new! Will post pics soon. If you have bezel marks I suggest doing this. It works.

What exactly is "blasting"... I'm lost here!

You take a Brillo pad and rub it against the bezel to buff out scratches.

Sounds more like grinding metal against metal... than "blasting!"

Seriously? I would not do that. That would add more scratches!

Are you sure you are talking about a Brillo pad?

+1... I really hope the OP is mistaken here. :-(

I'm pretty sure the bezel is already brushed aluminum... but after being ground upon w/ a brillo pad I cannot see how it looks any better. Can we see a pic of your finished product?

The process is called Bezel Blasting. You just re-brush it! Its not very complicated. Im going to post pics. I used one of those green and pink sponges.

Ahhh ok... you're on a 3G/S. I guess i take for granted that not everyone has a 4/S.

I have the 4 bud. Read my signature and the first post. I'm saying that is what my iPhone 4 bezel looks like.

Ok... I smell what you're stepping in now. I'm eager to see how this turned out, though!

You will see once i locate my camera. It looks just like the picture just on an iPhone 4.
