O.k. I've searched and read all over the forums, so spare me the "we told you to put on a screen protector." I was cleaning my bare screen with a microfiber cloth the other day, a piece of dust or something got in there and scratch! Long thin line down the screen. Almost imperceptible, but distorting the picture just enough to drive me nuts. I've read all bunch of suggestions from bananas and toothpaste to plastic polishes such a novus. I'm leaning toward trying novus polish, but would like to hear from anybody who's tried it or something similar on their TP2 or other resistive touch screen to know if it really works, or will destroy my device. Thanks!

I've used iCleaner with some sucess for minor abrasions and scratches:

Theres a few other products on the market. The names slip my mind, though.

Morrowa2: This stuff works well. There is another one that Walmart sells, but I can't remember the name of it..

I've seen mixed reviews on the displex, and on its advertising, it states it it not to be used on touch screens. Llalen3: have you used it on an HTC touch screen?

tooth paste paste your thumb. Worked for me on other plastic surfaces. Of course wash you hand thoroughly.

I tried toothpaste (regular Crest) using a microfiber cloth, didn't do anything.

Lol, same thing happened to me. I always carry a microfiber cloth to clean my screen, and I guess something got in there and made a nice thin scratch which isn't noticeable until the creen is on. It's not bad, but noticeable. Don't know how to fix it though. I don't want to use toothpaste as it would be the same as a high-grit sandpaper. I'm just going to deal with it.
