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.

Or you know you could, like, get an mp3 player made not out of plastic but of quality materials, like my iRiver H140, which has a carbon black magnesium case that, after four years being lugged around, has no scratches. None at all. Seriously.

re:scratch’s,why not try t-cut car polisher and a bit of elbow grease,it also works a treat on scratch’s on dvds and cds,I found that out after my 360 put a gouge in one of my games and I then spent about 30 mins polishing it out and now it works fine.

That stuff won’t rub signatures off, will it? I’ve got four sigs on the back of mine (engraved) and don’t wanna rub em off.

Another vote for iDrops. Less expensive than iCleaner, and worked out great for me. I was very impressed with the results. What convinced me to try it were the testimonials from users on the company’s blog page http://here/.

It did take some time to get all of my scratches out, but I imagine every product will be about the same amount of time, total.

Another thing I liked about the iDrops was that it was just one bottle rather than two or three to get the job done but not sure if that really matters or not.
