Title: way to fix scratched LCD screens? (ipod, etc.) Post by: -SW- Baz on January 14, 2003, 11:29:50 pm hey,
last summer i saved up and bought a 5 g ipod with my job money =) what i DIDNT buy was a case to protect it, and yep, the screen is all scratched up now and looks totally unsexy now :( anyways, does anyone know a good way to get the scratches out through polishing or wax or SOMETHING? i've tried rubbing alcohol, even Windex ;D ...but nothing seems to work, so thought i'd ask here thanks Title: Re:way to fix scratched LCD screens?

Good Thinking!!! However, I not a real iPod fan, cuz i'm not one of those who always listen to music, I dont understant ppl that do, i mean the only place I listen to music if ever is at a club or in my car, thats it!!!

iPodlounger, Sean M. sent us a tip: Earlier today I went to see a guy at a watch store and asked him his advice on how to remove scratches from plastic watch fronts. He said I should try "Brasso" metal polish wadding. I was a little suprised but was willing to try it out anyway. Got home dabbed it on and HOLY COW, my iPods screen is now as smooth as a babys bum. A little advice though, the wadding in the Brasso can seemed to make its own scratches, so I suggest using kitchen roll (paper towels) or a soft cloth. Dab it into the wadding and smooth the brown stuff in.
