Theres your problem.

I took at least 10-20 minutes to wipe brasso on my iPod. Be sure to use small circular motions when putting Brasso on the front and back of the iPod.

Correct. It gets your arm tired when using alot of pressure. Trust me, this should work.

Start with 10 minutes, then if that doesn't suit your needs, then go for another ten or so minutes. Once i'm done, I get a clean cotton swab or whatever you use, and wipe it clean with that.

Sure, I think that should work. If not, look foor some cotton wipes somewhere around your house.

All this talk about the Brasso iPod cleaning makes me want to do it again myself!

I think you should still do it. At the end, it should look almost brand new.

Good luck and I hope it works for you.

Cool. I'm glad it worked out for you. Since you got your iPod the way you want it, I would definately invest in a quality case. I have an InCase...case, and I love it. The whole InCase product line is great, and I would definately buy another product from them.

I'm not really sure what kind of case is your preference. If you like the tight silicon cases, the case I have is not for you. If you like quality leather cases, i'm sure you would like what I have. I just found out that InCase doesn't make the case I have anymore, so i'm sorry I can't provide you with a link or picture.
