I got over that after the first month or so, i decided i could either really enjoy the ipod, or worry over the scratches. I take it to the gym, so it gets some occasional scratches from bouncing around my gym bag/car, but in the end if its still playing its little heart out its worth it.
Brasso? like the kind I would use to polish my rotc belt buckle in H.S.? and if so, then can I use is it on the screen or is it just limited to the shiny back and white front portions?
