Scratched my iMac, how do I repair it

I was on my iMac 2009 and i took the glass panel off for cleaning and while taking it off i accidently scratched the aluminum front badly with the bottom metal parts of the glass panel and it looks terrible and i cant remove it with any scrubbing because its deep enough i can stick my finger nail through it

MacBook 16" with screen damage? Hi all I was thrilled to purchase the new 16" MBPs when they came out. So far I'm loving it, but the other day I noticed some specks on my screen. I investigated further after cleaning the screen and the screen appears damaged. Upon close inspection it almost looks like a chemical has adhered to the screen or damaged the glass. I can feel these little dots/specks with my nail, but they're very small. I can't seem to get them off. Given the pattern, I suspect there was something (glue?) on the palm rests or keyboard that found its way onto the screen once I closed it. Anyone have ideas on how to remove these specs without damaging the screen? There are some streaks on the screen from the Windex which came off. There are some streaks on the screen from the cleaning product that I wiped off - the only part I'm concerned about is directly above the iPhone in the reflection..

Nothing you can do that I know of that wouldn't make it worse. How about some (electrical?) tape in silver?
