What would you use?
It's for the aluminium house NOT The TFT

Seems I have some odd circular scratches on the base of my MBP, they're not deep but kinda of visible, especially in daylight. What I don't want is use some polish that'll bring up a shine, such as those used on chrome iPods.

Has anyone found anything?
Or have any proven suggestions?
 
only thing i can thing of its to wet sand it a bit or mabey an abrasive polish, outside of that, I don't see how anything else would work, since unlike a car, these computers don't have a clear coat you can just "wear even"
 
I would start with iKlear which Apple uses on their display computers. Otherwise, I would try to go into a store and ask an employee. Do you really want to screw up and have swirl marks on your brand new MBP?

brand new MBP? o_O

It's a 2.2Ghz MBP, 16mths on the clock!! Ain't new no more!!!:D
 
I'm not sure if its possible to buff out scratches on the the aluminum. As stated before, it doesn't have a smooth finish like a car. You can try to sand it out, but it would be difficult to get a matching even finish as the rest of the body. Any polish would just make that spot shiny - which wouldn't be what you're looking for.
