    • The front and back are already scarred.

  2. yMuj14DFOF2qeXVf

    • Use 2000 grit and above fine-grained sandpaper.

    • For this tutorial, I used 2500 grit directly and then 3000 grit for a finer finish.

    • Careful when choosing a grit, a too coarse sandpaper grit will damage the airpods case

    30,000? You wrote it right the second time. : )

    • Cotton wool and medical alcohol are used to clean the surface of the charging case.

    • Clean the surface of the charging case with absorbent cotton dipped in alcohol.

    • Clean up the inside too!

    • Wet the surface with absorbent cotton or a little water, and then lightly sand it with 2500-grit fine sandpaper.

    • It can be seen that the more serious scratches have been smoothed out, the polished areas have turned white, and the smooth surface has become matte.

    • This step can be performed as many times as necessary.

    • It has now returned to white, but the surface is still matte.

    • If you like this matte style, you can stop

    • To restore a smooth surface, continue sanding with 3000 grit sandpaper in the same way as in the previous step.

    • The finer the sandpaper, the smoother it will be.

    • Refreshed now!

Conclusion

This will give the charging case a refreshed look instead of a dirty, scratched surface.

Kann man auch Polierpaste nutzen wie sie für Kunststoffdisplays benutzt wird?

Can anyone confirm this actually works and not make it worse that it already is?

I felt unsure at first about taking sandpaper to my AirPods. But, when I did... just wow! They looked brand new! Thank you for the tip!
