Polishing Cell Phone screen

I have a Nokia e71x that has been scratched up a bit inside of my pocket. I guess I put my keys in there when I was drunk. The scratches aren't deep at all, but it has a really cloudy/gray look on the screen where a lot of microscratches are. I did a quick buff with polish and my finger, but I didn't notice any different. What would you guys suggest doing? It pisses me off. :shakehead:

 

Maybe an AIO type product like klasse? maybe a filler-heavy glaze? EZ Creme perhaps? Just throwing some suggestions out there.

I suppose you could use something like plastX, but dont' know if that's too abrasive on a cell phone screen.

 

how about some 106fa with a foam app? you could mask off the surrounding areas, just like polishing a car

 

Buy one of ben's 50mm bp's and a 50mm wool pad

 

After trying some compound on my finger, I think it needs a machine perhaps. I'll have to try it with a microfiber.

 

Bumparoo.

 

Makita!

 

haha, so im not the only one that details my phone. my friends all call me crazy :shead:

 

I had surprisingly good luck removing scratches from the back of my last iPhone with PO203S and a MF towel. Your display plastic might be harder plastic than that, though.

I'm pretty obsessive about detailing my laptop.

 

So iPods have Japanese softness of clear, :applause2:.

I have used M205 before, followed up with some RBOE.

 

My phone has a legit glass screen!

 

hahaha, i do that too! the back is black and glossy.

my friends think i have a problem

 

A little Aquawax keeps the touchpad nice and slick. :lol:

 

just tried power finish with makita and a 50mm backing plate with 50mm wool pad. Great results on the black plastic. I keep a screen protector on the front as a sacrificial barrier.

 

I wet sanded my screen with 2000grit and just a touch of soapy water. then I polished by hand with mequiars scratchx 2.0 Came out like glass. Perfect. Except the sandpaper removed part of the black paint around the edge of the screen.

edit.. and I forgot i used a 3m light cut compund inbetween

 

Well I have phone insurance, so if it goes south... oops! I lost it.

 

best bet is take your PC and put it between your legs to hold it and move the phone, i think i did that with tail lights

 

Hmmm... didn't even think of that. Thanks.

 

Just don't polish your balls by mistake

 

that would suck...
