wyantm06 Posted October 30, 2007 CID Share Posted October 30, 2007 Ok, if anyone has ever removed scratches from plastic what did you use? Please only recommend something if it worked really good. I am in need of taking scratches out of my laptop lid and my HDTV trim. They look horrible and I would like to get them removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are deep , no chance , if it is just light scuffing an automotive cutting paste may work , but try it on a hidden part first , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyantm06 Posted October 30, 2007 Author CID Share Posted October 30, 2007 They aren't deep scratches at all. I just need a good cleaning product. I am thinking about buying a skin for the laptop, but they don't make them for my HDTV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjageek Posted October 30, 2007 CID Share Posted October 30, 2007 I have seen others use toothpaste to remove light scratches from a cd. Seems to work. Just use a decent brand. LIke the other suggestion. Try in a hidden spot first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biker9075 Posted October 30, 2007 CID Share Posted October 30, 2007 Toothpaste never worked for me either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roco Posted October 30, 2007 CID Share Posted October 30, 2007 toothpaste is a polish , , and may well blend very light scratches , but you got to look at "what is a scratch and why does it show " basically it is a layer of the surface that has been removed , it's lost and gone , all you can hope for is remove the high ridge either side of it and hope it don't show so much , there is no magic scratch remover out there , if there was 1/2 the auto paint shops would be out of business , unfortunately the surface on computer parts (silver or black ?) is only a few microns thick , if the scratch has cut through that into the base material you are out of luck , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
