Repairing scratches

well there's basically no way to really "remove" the scratches. However, I believe there are some decent scratch fillers that you can use to make the scratches appear as if they weren't there. Here's an example of one: http://www.nowet.com/metalpolish.htm it looks like it's mainly used for bigger stuff, but the MBP is still aluminum, so it should work

 

Not technically, no. It's just counted as normal wear damage. It won't do a thing to void your applecare warranty. Other things included in the normal wear part would be: minor bumps, dirty, minor scratches on the screen, and of course gradual battery degradation. Hope this helps

 

no it doesn't. If you have a dent, you might have issues but should still be serviceable.

 

You should not use metal polish on your macbook pro. It is powder coated not bare aluminum, and you will not achieve the results you are looking for.

Your options are touch-up paint or buy a replacement bottom plate.

 

Where can I buy a new bottom plate...just got a huge scratch on the bottom of my 2010 MBP & it's really bugging me. Thanks

EDIT: apologies, just saw the sticky...thanks
