Removing screen scratches...

[babble]

Hi,

 

I was wondering if anybody knew any tricks to remove scuffs and scratches from the plastic screen cover (Lynx II)?

 

I've got a scuff mark which shimmers a bit while playing on one of my Lynx's - and have just tried to sand it down with a mild abrasive (toothpaste). Unfortunately, while this works a treat on my watch (which is plexi-glass), the Lynx's screen seems too soft and the scuff mark has become mildly larger.

 

I was wondering if anyone has had any success, perhaps by adding another layer to the surface, such as a lacquer - perhaps an auto-scratch remover or clear nail vanish?

 

Or any other ideas? Is it a major operation to just replace the transparent plastic screen cover?

 

 

Thanks in advance,

babble

I've heard that car wax works. I haven't tried it myself, though.

Also, plastic scratch remover should work.

The best thing for the screen is Eagle One plastic polish.

Replacing the screen is no big deal either.

You can buy one online, I've seen them on a few different sites.

Here's one on eBay:

I recently saw a scratch repair "kit" by Memorex which has a small bottle of "cleaning fluid" (which may be water) & a tube of solution which is supposed to repair scratches on screens as well as CDs/DVDs. I didn't buy it & have never used it but it cost around $10.
