Cosmetic Repair

Their are plastic polishes sold at marine/boat stores that are used on fiberglass boats. I have used them on clear plastic souviner snowdomes (my wife's collection) with very good results. They polish but do not leave scratches (that I can see). Their is a bottle around here somewhere that I cannot locate, or I would mention a brand. You would want to do a test as with anything. I have never tried then on plastic that is other than clear.

DK, have you tried the boat polish on CDs? Sounds better than toothpaste which in my experience leaves discernable marks.

Audioplus if the finish of the monitor is glossy you might get good results but if it's not and does have some texture or grain in it I'm affraid you'll end up with a glossy patch compared with the rest of the plastic. Maybe just very limited fine grit sanding will be enough to lessen the problem but it will depend on how the plastic surface is iluminated. If you use a plastic care product be certain that it's OK for the plastic material you're dealing with. This will diminish the gloss increase but before doing anything try in an area of the TV that is not that visible like behind the set. Hope this helps

Fpeel: No I havn't, never crossed my mind until you mentioned it. My wife thinks that the polish may be under the kitchen sink (contained in the three story space saving jigsaw puzzle of products that utilizes every square inch of space). As we just purchased a water filter that I have to install, I might find it in the next couple of days when I get around to the chore. It definately took light scratches off of the clear plastic that makes up the souviners. I think that it may work and will let you know. Another collector friend of hers should know the name of the product if I cannot turn it up. I have always wondered what many light scratches do to the fidelity of the disks and do not purchase used ones when they have them. I have passed up a lot of good music because of this. I have a couple of scratched CD's (did it on the jewel case) that I can try the polish on.

Looking forward to hearing the results. DK.
