Removing scratches on the screen

I have used Carnuba Wax. A few apllications and a little buffing will make them go away.

Brasso.
Search this forum and you will find a few links ($4 can of Brasso)

were can i buy tht brasso i have the same thing as the guy i have a scrathch thet i cannot feel but can see so if i used car wax it will clean it or will it damage my screen ?

You can buy Brasso just about anywhere.
Walmart, hardware store, grocery store, etc. Look in the section with the cleaning supplies.
if i used car wax it will clean it or will it damage my screen ?
Probably won't damage it but it is wax. It will leave a film (however slight) on the screen.

i had little scratches on my ipod and i tried to clean it with brasso and it completely wrecked it, it had scracthes everywhere, im trying to look for something better.

Cause you did NOT do it correctly.
It's not that difficult but it will take a little bit of time.

What you have to remember with brasso is that it is really a metal polish. If you have the odd light scratch on your screen then you probably will end up with more scratches.

I bought a secondhand 40gb 4th gen with a badly scratched screen and after spending a good couple of hours gently polishing with brasso it is beautiful. Sure, if you tilt it in the light you can see circular patterns but it's a **** site better than I had before.

Hey, a bit over zealous on the old language filter here!!!

That bleeped out word was in fact D. A. M. N.

Go to Radtech, http://www.radtech.us/Products/Default.aspx#CategoryCare, and pick up a bottle of Ice Cream. This is a much finer polish than brasso and is actually a plastic polish rather than a metal polish. It works great. Completely saved my mini. Your other option is to use tooth paste. Yes tooth paste, regular Crest or Colgate. Use a damp cotton cloth or t-shirt. NEVER use paper towel when polishing anything like screens, lenses or sunglasses. They are too abrasive.

Good luck. You might try the tooth paste and if that does not do it go for the Ice Cream.

There's a link about the Brasso. Step by step tutorial on how to not ruin your ipod with Brasso haha. It can ruin it, you just have to be careful. I've used it before and it worked fine. Here's just a few tips to follow so you don't ruin your ipod since it can easily ruin it.

-Test it in a small corner first.
-Take your time.
-Don't push down too hard.
-A little goes a long way.
-Careful around the clickwheel


I recommend a microfiber cloth because it is smoother than a paper towel.When I used brasso on mine I rubbed it in for about 15-20 mins and a few times in that timeframe I would stop a couple times for 20 seconds and let the brasso dry/sink in and apply a little more and continue rubbing. It worked fine for me so I hope it works fine for you. And lastly all you do is just wipe it off with a clean area of the cloth you're using.

On bad thing I did have was I didn't want to waste the little microfiber cloth I had (all I had was a small 2x2 inch square of it) I used a reg. paper towel for the back. It sure cleaned off all the grime on the back but it left behind tiny tiny tiny swirling scratches on the back. It's not a big deal to me but it might be to other people so I'd use microfiber the whole way around. Hope this helps..


Brasso works fine. Everyone who says it ruined their ipod is because they did it WRONG and didn't read the tutorial or get tips on how to do it. I have a black ipod, i'd be careful on using it on a white ipod because I heard it turns it a yellow-ish color, but then I've heard people say it didn't on their white ipod. I guess it's just whoever did it correctly.

I'd say go for it.

Toothpaste will probably be far too abrasive, especially if you use the kind with baking soda.
Might as well rub sand on it.
It will work on some stuff but not a screen you need to see thru or something with a fine finish.

who said anything about toothpaste?

Hello?
Read any posts lately?
If you go up four posts to Wiiliam Baum, he wrote, "Your other option is to use tooth paste. Yes tooth paste, regular Crest or Colgate."

alright, well then don't respond to MY POST bashing toothpaste.

I didn't say anything about toothpaste in that post you're responding to me.

So hello?! I didn't say anything about it so don't respond to my post about it. It's not that difficult to scroll up a bit and click respond to his post about toothpaste.

Okay, sorry.
That's a problem with the forum.
It depends on how each person sets up their view (threaded/tree/flat).
If it's threaded, you have to scroll up and down and search around to see who reponded to what.
It should be FIFO. The next post will always go to the bottom of the thread.

Had I simply clicked on respond to William, the post would get lost in the middle of the page.
