scratch on touchscreen

i scratched my PDAs screen somehow after a couple weeks of use. I might try to use Scratch Doctor at circuit city to try to get it off as a verizon sales rep recommended for touchscreen, but i was a little scared to do this on touchscreen, will this work?

If it works, afterwards ill buy a protector... i delayed that too long as i wanted to ask later here if touchscreens are fine with scratch protector screens? Any brands recommend? i am using Verizon vx6900 btw.

i read there might be a plastic/digitizer already on top of the LCD based on this post on similar xv6700, which scares me a bit as maybe i cannot rips that touch screen off since its so thin... dont wanna buy a part and install it hehe...
"Having actually cut my screen, I think there's a protective plastic layer above the touchpad above the lcd. The top layer is bonded to whatever is under it, judging by pictures of internals. Also, I think the touchpad and LCD might be a single unit - but I have no clue. So, you could buy a replacement, spend an hour to replacing it yourself; send it to a service center for ($65?); or spend $3 and 30 seconds on a screen protector."
