All I have to say is BRASSO, i never have my iPod in any sort of protective covering since discovering this. About 8 of my friends also agree with me.best part is, it works for both the back and the front, AND works on Cd's too.
I've never tried Brasso before... I'll have to check it out. I bet it's cheaper than the stuff from RadTech. What color is Brasso? Maybe it's the same solution as their "IceCreme."
Brasso is just a very fine abrasive that works well on plastic and metal. I'm not sure why it would not work on a PSP? I've used it on my cell phone screen quite successfully. Becareful, however, I would advise against using it on a very thin plastic surface as you risk polishing through it. If Brasso brand is not available, most liquid type brass polishes will work as well.
I have to say BRASSO WORKS! i JUST BAUGHT brasso and tried it and its fantastic. It works great on the front and back. In my opinion brasso removes scratches better from the back. Try it its cheap and great.
Brasso is a VERY BAD idea. I tried in on both an Ipod Photo and two PSPs. The problem is, Brasso contains petroleum distiliates, which not only make your gadgets smell real bad after you've applied and then cleaned them (and from what I can tell there is no way to get rid of this smell- they are permanently tainted), but you end up touching these petro chemicals and inhaling them every time you handle your gadget. They make your hands tingle or burn (for lack of a better word) the same way getting gas on your hands does.. it gets under your skin and no amount of washing with remove this feeling. I have tried cleaning the gadgets with liquid soap, and glass cleaner, to no avail... they continue to smell. Considering the high petroleum content of this chemical, I would not even recommend it for polishing metal, such as sinks or faucets, or anything that humans come into contact with.
Do NOT use brasso. Why would you expect a 5 dollar solution would repair a 300 dollar piece of electronics, it will wear RIGHT THROUGH your screen, hope you people have a couple extra hundred.
you people are all not to well up there......BRASSO is like sandingpaper.would you really take a piece of sandingpaper and screw up your screen?NO!Now that is exactly what BRASSO does.it is made for brass ornaments and not ipod screens!!!!i have to agree with doyourdance!!!!!
