I tried some this Turtle Wax Scratch and Swirl remover that was on sale at Walmart for $1.85 just to see what would happen, and I'm pretty sure the lid is a tad bit more reflective now (albeit and fingerprints are more noticeable). What do you guys think? I neglected to take before and after photos, so I could be totally wrong.

Nicely done! I do miss the more reflective look of my R1 over my new R3, and you did a fantastic job really bringing that reflective look to a shine.

Thanks man! I love how it looks now, the biggest problem I've been having are the dang fingerprints, lol.

Beautiful ;D If only they offered this metallic style on the newer models. i miss my R1

Looks amazing! I have been debating this "mod" for awhile now, never wanted to do it till I either saw what it looks like knew they had the hinges fixed... now both items have been met, so I guess I will go out to the garage and get some polishing compound.

the silver version would look awesome...

That's love.

you just need some white cotton butler's gloves to use it now!

sweet job OP!
i actually want to use 2000 git on mine to get a matte look... but im done taking my M11x apart for now. i was thinking tho... if the 2000 grit sand job doesn't work out, i was going to paint it white and go for a "Portal look" setting the light to orange and blue would look soooooo awesome! -
is it finger prints resistance? lol
