Wow!! That’s a nice tip. I think it’ll work only on metallic surface, ryt ?
Well, I think so. Why dont you try it out and let u know
?
That’s Awesome!
But you lose the “iPhone” and the Apple logo
But it’s worth it, you can show that you fixed it yourself!
wat else do you lose.nothing i guess or rather nobody.
Try toothpaste, seriously it works!
I wrote about it here:

It’s a technique really similar to what you mention, but if you do it lightly you won’t rub off the Apple logo on the back.
