iv seen a few posts about how much time and effort t-cutting the boot badges etc can take so i thought i would post the lazy boy way loll

first sand off the silver coating with 180 grit.
then soak a cloth in ipod scratch remover http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SCRATCH-remover-REMOVING-POLISH-cleaner-IPOD-Screen-UK_W0QQitemZ220286065054QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item22 0286065054&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C 240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

then wrap the cloth around a large drill bit in a drill.
