I recommend the Dremel method, but not while drinking. I got a good buzz on then decided to do some repairs around the house. My 5G iPod got all sorts of furrows ground in the case. Now I have a 7G Classic, so I’m not so worried anymore.

to all the people on this site, you can buy a replacement screen on ebay for $10, and it comes with all the tools. so instead of spending the money on cleaners you can just have a brand new screen

I’m having a hard time deciding what to use as well. I’ve read so much conflicting views. I hear Kit Scratch Out is good, but I can’t find it here (in Canada). Another one I read is good is Novus Plastic Polish.

One I found is Quixx Acrylic Scratch Remover for acrylic glass and plexiglass. And if I’m not mistaken the iPod Classic screen is made of Lucite (aka acrylic glass). I assume this will work well, I haven’t tried it yet…

Any info anyone?

I’m struggling with deciding what of all these products I should use – I suspect that the product doesn’t matter quite so much if you’re using a Dremel. That’s brilliant!

I used toothpaste (Colgate–non abrasive) and a CD scratch removal kit. First I buffed the scratches with the toothpaste and then after that used the CD scratch removal kit for the fine scratches…Took me 6 hours but I am very happy with the results!

Umm, sure seems like an awful lot of pro idrops and icleaner posts… I smell a shill, the stuff is crap people.

At any rate, I’ve really tried everything mentioned here as I repair and refurbish iPods for a living. I can honestly say that ice creme is the best by far-we purchase it by the half gallon now.

And the cloths that come with ice creme are far superior to anything else. You can remove fine scratches and daily wear and tear with just a damp ice creme cloth.

And none of these other kits do squat for the back, whereas the ice creme includes a special tool that makes even the worst iPod back look new.

If you have fine scratches William (black iPod I bet), just polish with a damp ice creme cloth-takes them right out.

My .02, ice creme just works.
