Toothpasting blade spyder disapeares...???

[toeterbaas]

Is it that the logo disapeares (going off) While polishing with toothpaste?
I did this and my logo is less visible now after

[archangel]

Yes, it is true. If you put toothpaste over the :spyder: logo, it becomes not visible. Unless you use crystal clear toothpaste. :)

Toothpaste is a mild abrasive, so yes it will polish off the bug. Specifically, it's polishing out the burned/blackened color that's left from the etching process.

So thats correct it goes off then.
What can i polish my spyder with? Without going off?

Well, nothing really. Polishing any metal means removing small amounts off the surface, so the more you polish it with anything, the less it will show up. Probably the most gentile thing would be a jeweler's cloth that's used to shine gold and silver.

Thanks for your help :)

The logo is slightly recessed. Because of this, you can polish the primary grind with a fine waterstone, without abrading the logo. You may or may not be able to remove the factory grind lines without hitting the logo. It depends upon how much metal you need to remove. I did a FFG Delica and getting to a mirror on that blade fully removed the bug.

That's why I like the Taichung, Taiwan spydies they're recessed 3d. Too cool.

9 out of 10 dentists recommend Colgate for Spyder removal.

use only dishwashing liquid to wash my spydies. avoid abrasive detergents and soaps

I gave an Endura a full mirror polished blade and ended losing the bug, but I saw that coming.
The ones you have to be really careful with are the golden ones! They wipe off easily
