removing scratches from an iPod screen--thoughts?

[CanuckAmok]

I foolishly put my car-keys in the same pocket with my iPod. The car-keys are fine, but the iPod has a couple of light scratches on the screen.

I took some toothpaste and water to the screen, and that helped a bit, but not enough.

I was thinking a jeweller mught be able to buff out the scratches with a very fine polishing compound. Maybe that would make it worse, I dunno.

Any ideas?

1. Stuff like this

Some work better than others, I'm trying to find the one I used for my PDA before I got screen protectors

2. Hmmm, all I need is 9,999 people to share the order with me!

Then I'll be set.

3. I wasn't suggesting you buy it from there

:P Just that it's the sort of stuff I'm thinking of. Cranky old fart.

5. Maybe some of that Vinyl Repair that Ronco (or some other

company) used to hawk on tv... :P Seriously, I don't know of anything, but I thought I'd be a smartass. :D

7. My thoughts: Eh, fuck it. It's only an iPod screen.

That's probably not really helpful to you, however.

8. How about some Novus Plastic Polish?

Three different strengths, depending on the scratches. I use the #2 compound a lot, but you might want to try #1 on the screen first.

9. Drive over it several times - turn the scratches into big dents & cracks

It won't help your ipod, but it'll help you to quit worrying about those pesky little scratches.

11. You know, that's a really good idea! And I'm not being sarcastic.

In fact, I want to reward you...

Next time you have a headache, give me a call and I'll come over and hit you repeatedly in the back of the head with a shovel. Say goodbye to headache discomfort!

13. Will do! Don't forget to bring your scratched-up Ipod!

12. unfortunately

I don't know of anything. But as soon as you get it fixed, BUY A CASE. They cost like 15 bucks, and you'll thank yourself for protecting an expensive piece of electronic equipment
