He sanded off the paint and simply polished it, no finish.
Try some Never Dull,that should do the trick.I don't know how.The glue came off, but there are a couple slightly dark discolored marks left. May have to find some way to polish/sand /buff whatever it.
that could be bad, if the mod is made out of different metals they will start looking very different in a few days. Most zinc alloys develop a black powdery oxide coating that will rub off on your hands like pencil, accelerated by sweat. Aluminium should be fine, if there's zinc alloy it's likely to need a finish.
I was given a Sourin Drop to try out. Had it for about a week and was really impressed. Very thin and shirt pocket friendly, good flavor and dependable.
I think it's all zinc alloy as the body and door have a very similar look, feel and sound if struck. They both polish exactly the same and will tarnish if left uncoated.I was told the body is aluminum and the door is a zinc alloy. To me it's metal.
But, I not well versed in the dark arts of making shiny metal things.
Slice LE is listed as zinc alloy, but there is minor variation between the body and door color of silver. I don't know.
I can be. I have a samsung.
With a dremel and polishing wheels and the black oxide compound bar then the white compound bar to finish aluminum and zinc can be polished nicely.
Here is mod with zinc c-frame thats well used but reliable thinking of taking off c-frame and polishing it one day when bored.
Picture showing whats under the black finish which would come off in process.
Around the window have a habit of rubbing it with my thumb when holding it so the wear through the black finish.

When you click reply (to one of the guys) there is an option to upload a file. .. click that and it gives you an option to use your camera - click that and take a picture, confirm that your happy with that picture and it will upload it to the post... just click full image then post it.
Ok depending on the model the most simplistic approach on most would be
In ecf click upload file
Then choose file
Then mine pops up with capture image.
If you do that you should be able to post it right then.
I take pics then go to photos and crop them but that's another post lol.
If you see the option I mentioned for capture image you can select documents then photo/gallery and upload old pics.
But as I mentioned depends in the model and the version of android.
Give it a shot and let us know how it goes, or ask questions. We are here for you.
I'm no metallurgionologist either but I know there's a number of different zinc alloys for casting and they're different in how they oxidize. The more expensive ones can be polished and stay shiny for longer, the cheap ones that are meant to be coated anyways get dull quickly and will react to the acids that squeeze out of your skin.
Our mods are usually made out of the cheap ones, part of why the more expensive ones cost more is that the molds can't be reused all too many times and have to be remade, not something you want when you bang out mods in bigger numbers.
What I would try first, before using any abrasive methods, is putting the door into a bath with hot water and baking soda. If that doesn't get rid of the tarnish you'd need to start looking for very fine polishing paste (like eg chromium oxide based).
If it's a lower grade zinc alloy you'd either have to contend with it not being shiny, polish it from time to time or polish it and put eg a clear powder coating over it.

Is the blemish flush or can you feel it with your fingertips?
It's not on the door, the mark is on the body of the Slice. I will bookmark this page. Useful info, thank you.
If it were mine. I'd hit it with the superfine steel wool and buff again with a big wheel or mushroom buff.
I find those little Dremel pads create more work on a big area than they actually polish. But again, I is not versed in the dark arts of the buff and polish either.
