[TrunkCom] Scratch Fixer

Wed, 9 Jan 2002 23:11:53 -0600

You have to use a toothpaste like PEAK, or arm and hammer, but I find
sometimes the grit isnt consistent, as i use the same stuff for watch
lenses,,,,, I find that elbow grease and baking soda paste , with water does
as good a job as you can do without getting a buffing wheel!!!

 Thats right ,,, I did one once with a bufffing wheel on a grinder with the
wax stick (orange ) and the ist time i burnt right through to the lcd and
had to get a new case,,, second time i did it very , VERY lightly,,,,, and
it came out perfect,,,
