Possibility of fixing scratches on the plastic part of Magic Mouse

I have a magic mouse I bought used and the top plastic was severly scratched by the previous owner's girlfriend's ring. Is there a possibility of removing the scratches? I know for a fact that the plastic is identical to that the first intel iMac was made of, and I have seen someone removing scratch from one of those, but with the touch surface in this mouse will it harm to do so? You can see the scratches and fell it while using the mouse, it isn't like those scratches you see on the apple display mouse it's even worse.

I think i could replace the mouse but is it cover under the 3 year warranty the computer it came with (iMac mid 2011, purchased in Feb. 2012 and expiring at Feb. 2015)?

Ask Apple about the replacement under warranty. I do not know of any way to remove scratches in plastic.

If it were me, I would buy a new one.

As far as I know, the Apple care warranty is transferable within the limitations of the country where the original machine was purchased. I believe it can be done on line and does not need the original receipt.

But this repair will not qualify because the fault is due to usage (or mis-usage) and not due to manufacturing failure.

The computer is under the last few months of a 3 year warranty. The computer was purhcased by previous owner in 2012 and warranty goes until Feb. 2015

Are the mice covered under this?
