Please log in for more thread options Anodizing is like an array of fingers. The area that was rubbed is like
bending over the fingers and shaving off the sides to make it shinny.
Anodizing is a resultant of etching and adding a colorant in the process.
It is a microscopic paint job.
You could make the spot area shinny or cover it over.
