spots on Monza alloys
« on: 02 June 2011, 08:10 »
I've noticed these spots on all my Monza shadows, they are mostly around the centre of the alloy and look like someone has sprayed silver dust on them  :laugh: I can't quite remove them and you can't really feel them if you touch the alloy.  Not too discernible either, you have to look really closely and Monzas need to be perfectly clean, but still annoying knowing it's there.  I was wondering whether it's residuals from the salt in the water here.  Doesn't look like whiteworm either.  Anyone else with the same thing?

Btw how on earth do we insert a picture here?  Please help the newbie...
