MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I didn't buy a screen protector when I bought my Garmin 800.
I've got one now and could do with getting rid of the scratches before I stick it on.
There's no deep scratches, but it's obvious which parts of the screen I tap most often as they are noticeably dull compared to the rest of it.
It [i]might[/i] be possible to polish them out with toothpaste and a soft cloth.
That's [b]MIGHT[/b]. Use the cloth lightly and be patient.
Not a lot of use with this answer, I can see the tin at home in my head but cannot remember name
Little red tin with some buffing/rough cloth inside...my husband uses it to get the scratches out of watches and his cycling glasses and it works well...just forgotten name
Maybe this will trigger someones memory - or I'll try and remember to check at home!
Chrome polish...
bencooper - is that tested - as in have you done it?
thanks
Use a nail buffer. Couple of quid from Sainsburys. White on one side green on the other. I use them for buffing model aircraft canopies, which need to be crystal clear. Try it on a corner first to make sure however.
I've used [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p3984.m570.l1313&_nkw=polywatch&_sacat=0&_from=R40 ]Polywatch[/url] before. Worked a treat.

On a phone, yes - you need to be a little careful - overdo it and it goes a bit wavy but that only shows up in reflections.

Duraglit?
My suggestion would be to try a car polish on the screen (not scratch remover). I've had good sucess with Autoglym super resin polish take some scratches out of a bike computer screen in the past.
Chrome polish will be far too agressive IMO.
Plus one for the autoglym. I did an early iPod screen when they were plastic, made a huge improvement

Brasso?
I've used it before on touch screens. Get the stuff that's impregnated cloth rather than the liquid.
Many years ago when I was involved as a supplier to the car windscreen repacment trade they used to use "Jewellers rouge" to polish fine scratches out of windscreens.It`s a very fine abrasive compound,in a powder form.I tried it once and it worked but was quite a time consuming process.
