Is there anything that would get rid of the scratches on the ipod? I doubt it, but it's worth asking.

there are millions of products that claim to do this, although i don't know any links..... try running a search through google....
 
My screen is pretty scratched up. Im sure PDA screen protectors would prevent this, but is there any way to get rid of them on the screen?
 
I have a 3rd gen iPod that had a large scratch on the display. I used Brasso (Metal polish), following advice on another website, and it worked a treat. The screen looks brand new.
 
thanks everyone! I'll be getting icleaner as soon as I can. Very excited to get rid of the blemishes. 😀
 
You can do the following -

1) Get a effing sleeve/case and put it on your new pod right out of the box if you don't wanna scratch it up.

2) If you don't wanna look like a geek w/ a rubber around your pod, buy it from BB w/ the warranty, so when you scratch it up, you can return it for a new one. Rinse and repeat until they drop you or warranty ends.
 
BEST and CHEAPEST way

Rub your ipod on you forehead. the natural oils will make it look as good as new. trust me on this one.

Oh man, just don't sell it to me on ebay.

I wonder how many people you've made try this now. I also wonder how many people will admit that they've tried it.

Does it actually cover that?!?!
 
Will any of the products also not remove the writing on the back of the iPod? I like the writing on my iPod, and would not feel right buying a product that removes the writing almost killing the resale value of the iPod in one fell swoop. Anywho, i was thinking of using an automotive polish, like the one i use on my car for the metal, and just Brasso or something like that for the plastic.
 
I wouldn't use toothpaste... its much to strong an abrasive. I used it years ago to get some tarnish off some cheap silver looking cups... made them nice n shiny... but after a few shines it wore right through . 😱
