DO NOT BOTHER!!!!

Placeholder368 | 09/08/2008 | See all Placeholder368's reviews (2) ť
After spending an evening using this product, trying to eliminate scratches from my mobile phone and i-pod I have had a very disappointing result. It does not do what it says on the tube, I cannot emphasise enough my advice not to buy this product. Do not buy it does NOT work.


Based on that review I wouldn't bother.

I'm trying this on my I-phone as I type with no results. It fucking stinks when you sniff it. Bit pissed off as it was only in my pocket with one key and there is a deep scratch. I was assured I'd never scratch it by the man who sold me it. That stuff in the link I have from when I polised my I-pod. Worked very well on that, but not on my I-phone.

Generally speaking - if you can feel the scratch with your finger nail, then it won't polish out.

brasso will remove scuffs quite well but is abrasive itself so leaves very fine scratches behind, youd need something like mirrorglaze to remove the scratches left by brasso. If you can feel it with your nail to do it properly youd have to wet sandpaper it (1500 grit) then brasso then mirrorglaze. Or live with it.

Will 1500 grit scratch my I-phone screen? I can't live with this scratch, I have issues like that.

Well leave it on as long as possible so the next time you do scratch it, its not permanent!
