Hi Guys.

Whilst cleaning my rear plastic screen, i managed to pic up something in the sponge and scratch the screen.

Scratches are not deep btw.

Yep toothpaste has the finist 'grain' for a just cut polish. Good for degreasing glass windows as well.

No Rav, none of the surface scratches were removed using Brasso. Did make the screen
very clean though. Took a couple of minutes either side.
