Guest Yogimax Posted June 27, 2011 Report Posted June 27, 2011 Folks Due to stupidity I recently set a plastic box on top of my Vega in the back seat of the car. The result is a couple of superficial scratches (not gouges!) running for about 1 1/2 inches each top to bottom. :rolleyes: I have seen various methods to disguise these on various fora (the plural of forum?) and have been left with the choice of the following: 1 A light coat of vaseline to fill in the scratch 2 T-Cut to blend in the surrounding screen 3 Various "scratch removers" from fleabay! I would appreciate your input and suggestions... :) BTW the scratches are only visible when my Vega is switched off - in use you can't see them unless you look for them. Thoughts?

Yogi, You might want to take a look at Micro Mesh. It comes in a kit form with a series of very fine abrasive pads. We used to use it on perspex and glass canopies for fine scratches. I really don't know if it would affect the capacitive qualities of the screen but as only a few thou would be removed I would imagine not. You'd need to take advice on that though from the wealth of knowledge available on here. Good luck dude!

Guest PurpleRob Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 Or you could use brasso, I've used it before to take out minor scratches on sunglasses before, but once again I don't. Know what it would do to the screen. Rob
Guest HypoTurtle Posted June 28, 2011 Report Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) I take it by scratch removers your including CD repair kits such as http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pressit-Cd-Repair-...5/dp/B00009ETXH again I haven't experience using them on a touch screen, I think I read on several fori (haven't checked but fori seems more likely to me than fora i.e fungi, fungus) a few years ago when I scratched an apple device, that if I may add I only had as it cost me nothing. Edit: had a quick check and according to the fount of knowledge that is wikipedia both fori and fora (and forums) are grammatically correct Edited June 28, 2011 by HypoTurtle
