    I once heard of people removing scratches with some kind of silver polish or something like it. I don't have any details at hand though, but I'm sure someone might pop in and give specifics.

    I've heard that rubbing toothpaste using a terry cloth towel will do the trick (although I haven't tried it myself).



    I actually bought a product over the summer that worked like a charm: http://www.ipodcleaner.com/

    It took all the little scratches out, almost like magic.

    Anybody ever tried the toothpaste? I'm interested to know if it works.

    Some "whitening" toothpastes have a mild abrasive, usually silica. Use very little on the iPod screen.

    Please, all toothpaste has some kind of abrasive, be it hydrated silica, calcium carbonate/phosphate, alumina, etc. Hydrated silica is not exclusive to whitening toothpastes or vice versa.



    (Finally some use for my stupid chemistry degree. )

    There's a product called Ice Creme that's made specifically for this very purpose. It's amde by a company called Radtech.

    Check out the MacAddict Review.

    Brasso silver polish.

    that's the one. Works wonders on the iPod: plastic side and shiny side.



    enjoy.

    Tried tooth paste. Didnt work. Only made it tasty

    Anyone have luck with Novus 2? I heard this works but don't know where to get it. Taps is nowhere near San Diego (Escondido)
