Yup, that's just scuffed metal. Lint, dust, and dirt slowly work their way under the case and are then trapped against the body of the iPod, slowly rubbing away.

I would never put acid on my iPod. It's scuffs, don't worry, unless your trying to sell it..

Yeah because you have tried it right? because you know what your talking about right?
