I'm gonna try a little toothbrush size wire brush if I can find on at home despot. Steel wool and a good scrubbing with a regular toothbrush and soap didn't help.

Please report back if it works, I'll try a few things tomorrow as well and do likewise.

Right now I'm leaning towards dremel with some sort of non agressive wire brush.

I have a question for yall. I have the 18650 kick tubes ready. I was thinking of doing a kick sleeve, for 2 reasons.

1. Kick sleeve for the 18350 tube to make the 18490 with a kick fit without a gap.
2. It would be available by itself in colors to make the ihybrid be able to have 3 different colors (ex: red tank sleeve, white kick sleeve, blue battery tube) what do yall think? I could also do away with the 18650 tube and make the extension sleeve to support the 18650 also. It would cut cost and the new units would be: full unit, 18350 tube with a 18650 extension and a 18490 kick extension and sell the 18650 kick tubes seperate. The price on the iHybrid kit would drop to $199. What do yall think? It would be version 2 :)

Sounds like a good idea. Maybe offer customers the choice to get it with the 18650 tube instead of the 18350 tube as an initial option when they first buy an iHy.

You can remove anodizing with oven cleaner.

Fine grit sandpaper will work, just dont over do it :) Oven cleaner will not work, it only removes the color not the anodized coat
