How did I recovered the original look of my Note 4? topic
Well, I love how my Note 4 looks. But I (and everyone) hate how it looked two days after I bought it. SCRATCHES, SCRATCHES EVERYWHERE. I didn't thought it that much. I picked up my car polisher and started rubbing all the frames of it, not even the chamfered edges. After that the phone looked absolutely amazing, with shinny chromed edges and a glossy, premium feeling white stripe instead of the matte one. 3 months after I've got it; the edges began to get black and oxydize (very litle holes on it). The polisher only removed the black tint of it still have that rustic feel on it. So I took a product that it's called "CiF" here in Argentina. It's a highly abrassive polisher that works for almost everything in your house (Kitchen, electrodomestics, car parts, etc) and started with it:
After that, the chromed edges now looked gray, like unpainted, but these little holes were dissapeared!
Then I took my car polisher, to give the chrome look back again. This time I used another cream which seems to be less abrassive and applies (I don't know if it's true or not) a protective coat on it:
Sonax it's a pretty famous german company that's one of the best polisher brands in the world, yes it's expensive, but does his job very well.
After almost 2 hours rubbing my phone, it started to shine..
(note: the back part of the phone were almost 100% black. Notice how it looks now)
So, my phone now looks like new yet again. I have some warnings for you:
-Don't rub your phone so much with an abrassive product: It could damage it
-Cover your screen with tape BEFORE doing this process: Abrassive products damages the oleophobic coating that the gorilla glass have.
-Put your battery out of the phone so no energy is on it: Any abrassive product is liquid and higly conductive. If mistakenly enters a bit of it on the USB jack, it could make a circuit break and make your phone unusable
-Be sure to clean all the ports and microphones before turning your phone on again
-DON'T USE FAKE COVERS. If the original Spigen scratches your device, don't think about a fake one. I have one, it's a S**************T and destroyed my device, still some huge scratches are there and no polisher can remove them. Here's a pic, notice the bad quality of the plastic and "NEO HIB RYD" typo:
Well that's my little story, I hope this will help to anyone who wants to make his Note 4 shinny again! Good luck!
