In the spirit of Todd Dailey, I decided to try out some Brasso on the badly scratched screen of a Palm Tungsten T5. There are mixed reports floating around online as to the effectiveness of Brasso on LCDs and other plastic components of electronic devices, but nothing that I could find detailing effectiveness on a touchscreen (other than a general consensus that solvents like Brasso were probably not such a good idea). I gave it a shot anyway. I tried using both a cotton Q-tip and a microfiber clother. Alas, it did not work. The one area which I buffed the hardest is now even slightly worse. Onto another solution…
For what it’s worth, it took some scratches off of the much harder plastic of my v710 quite handily, and did a decent job on the case of the T5, so I have faith in the idea.
