So I got 2 Avenue Pad 6's off of craigslist recently and was cleaning them up. Both have some pretty good scratches on them. As I was scrubbing the top section/face plates I noticed one of them had the protective plastic film on it so I'm like cha-ching brand new faceplate under here... as I begin to peal it off it gets stuck and I pull harder and eventually it comes off leaving residue/marks on about 20 percent of the face in different streak like sections. no big deal I'm thinking got the goo gone ready, let it sit a while, scrub it and no result. I use laundry soap next to get the goo gone off still not the slightest bit better, then i try alcohol..nope, so I whip out some plastic cleaner..negative, plastic polish with grit.. still nothing happening except its starting to change the finish a little.
meanwhile I'm also trying this on the other face to get a couple of deep scratches out. ends up looking sh!tty on both.
(game over man) Well, I ended up just wet scratch padding both faces in one direction to get a brushed aluminium look ..eerr only on plastic (which I've done before on black acrylic) ended up looking pretty good/OK. The scratch pad ended up wearing off the marks. It was like the protective film bonded with the plastic in certain areas or something. anyways sorry no pics of the ordeal.
I hope this is just an AP6 problem and not anything else TG related with protective film.
Has anyone else had anything similar happen?
