How can i get rid of scratches on my screen?

At one time I saw a product on the net that was supposed to help fill and reduce scratches on LCD displays. I don't know how well it would work. Also, on all my PDAs, the outer-most layer of the screens is obviously a different material than the hard plastic laptop displays expose. So I don't know how effective a product would be that is meant for a laptop display. You always run the risk of some sort of chemical reaction or similar doing real damage to your display. I have also heard that Armor All is supposed to help fill in scratches, which makes them less noticeable. I have tried this on a scratch on my laptop's display, and it didn't seem to help at all. If the scratch is visible because of light reflecting off of it, then a screen protector may help hide the scratch.

As Dan said, this may be harmful, but polishing the screen with car wax can buffer out small scratches. On the aluminium body case of my iPAQ it worked fine.

I bought my E-125 and it had some slight wear marks on the screen from the stylus. I bought some Writeright screen protectors to put on it, and now I cannot see the scratches anymore

After reading this thread, I began looking around the web, and here is what I found.

Like Moose said, toothpaste is supposed to work well on all PDA's.
The whitening toothpaste works really well on deep scratches, as it buffers the screen down.

3M Professional Plastic Cleaner is supposed to work good also. You can find this product here.

This stuff is like what Dan was talking about, and looks like it would work.

I personally have not tried any of these scratch removers, so use at your own risk.

i use toothpaste. it works fairly well, i just use a cloth or bog roll and rub it in, leave it for a min, then buff it out. works well on my em500.
