Good Macbook Pro scratch remover?

@ CBennett2498 - Yes, I'm in the same boat. I nicked my top-shell with the edge of my MagSafe's connector. We're talking a milimeter long flaw that is driving me crazy. Here are the solutions I've seen so far. I do not vouch for any of them yet, but they seem promising.

I did lots of research in order to find the best fix for my MacBook scratch. I came across a form(Removing a scratch from the iPad back with Meguiar's Scratch X 2.0) that gave good detail as to how to rid my MacBook from scratches, I decided to put it to a test and made this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRyBjQGTUKc. Needless to say, the end result was somewhat dissatisfying.

To date there is no product that will remove the scratches. There are some that will make them less noticeable but that is the best you can hope for. If the cosmetics are that much of a problem, then replacement is the only solution.

Ciao.

I suggest that you search these forums or the Internet. I do remember a discussion on this subject over a year ago, but I do not remember the specific product. Personally. I do not concern myself about such issues.

Ciao.

a cool sticker

You cannot polish the brushed alloy without making a shiny spot, it will only look worse resultantly.

blending brushed or matte aluminum takes serious skills. Been polishing metal, stainless, aluminum for decades.

Its an insanely difficult task

you have to sand out the mark, blend it, lower the finish, raise it then lower it out again to blend the matte finish.

people wrongly think making things shiny is hard, its just the opposite, making things look matte and blend in is the real nightmare.

I am also going to put shell on the machine the way I do for my iPhone. I like my Apple toys too much to let them be scratched up. I just wished I'd come to this decision before I'd nicked my 1 month old MacBook.

Kuzy - Retina 13-Inch BLACK Rubberized Hard Case for MacBook Pro 13.3" with Retina Display A1502 / A1425 (NEWEST VERSION) Shell Cover - BLACK

Comes in multiple covers

I am resorting to covering the damaged part of the shell with a sticker made by someone special to me. Love covers it over. 😍

So yeah, I'm taking a "Conceal it. Don't feel it" approach. I'm going to try my darnedest to "Let it go".

If I think up of any other corny lines from Disney movies which apply, I'll be sure to add them. Good luck! If you find a better solution, please let me know!

I just got my Kuzy shell. It is a two-piece plastic hard cover with a slightly rubbery texture to it. My first impressions: overall positive. It smooths out the edges to the leading edge of the palm rest. That's NICE. It doesn't add much weight or bulk, which is a very good plus. The glued-on rubber knobs on the base seem a little hap-hazardly placed, but are solid enough. Time will tell how long they last, but as long as they seat the computer flat on the table that is what is important. The shell takes a bit of work to get on and off. I at first thought I would put it on only for the hazardous occasion, but realized almost immediately how difficult it is to remove. I think I'm better off just leaving it in place. Besides which, the black I chose matches the rest of the MacBook's color scheme. Very satisfied with this solution. There is little point in being annoyed over the scratches and dings since I won't be removing the shell to admire the computer all that often, eh?

its a beauty mark, like a mole on the face of a supermodel.
