Polishing tutorial ends up being a debranding process for an iPhone

We've got to hand it to people out there, sometimes they're able to think outside of the box in getting their phones fixed after sustaining some massive scratches and cracks. One do it yourself tutorial that aimed at repairing a distressed iPhone riddled with deep scratches to its former glossy rear turned out becoming a debranding process. One owner managed to bring back the iPhone's luster with a lot of buffing and the help of 3M's $15 Headlight Lens Restoration Kit – the same one that actually turns those foggy looking headlights on cars back to is crystal clear pristine look. Looking closely at the final product, it's apparent that Apple's logo has seemingly been wiped off the rear cover – the only thing you're left with is one scratch-free glossy back cover. People may wonder what kind of phone you're using at that point as they scratch their heads and wonder why the giant Apple logo has disappeared from its usual perched spot. The iPhone owner who had the duty in bringing back the handset to its former glory said that the whole process in repairing it was cheaper that buying a new one – the replacement screen only cost $10; making a $25 investment a worthwhile thing to do.
