How to Remove Scratches from a cell phone screen!

A co-worker of mine has had a couple of run-ins with trouble for his phone. After he upgraded to the new Black Jack 2, he started to have problems with his screen. There were some vertical lines showing up on his screen all of a sudden. So the only option was to take it back, and he did. Now with this second phone, he somehow inadvertently scratched the screen. He asked me the question, Is there a way to buff out or clean up the scratches? Well that is a great question, unfortunately I didn’t have an answer for him at the time. But I did take the time to research it and these are the things I found.

Recovery:

Many different websites say that there are several ways to try to remove scratches from cell phones, but none of them are guaranteed to work, especially if you have a lot of really deep scratches. So you may have to keep trying till you get the results you want. Perhaps even a combination of several… Each item is applied lightly to a clean, soft cloth. Then you apply to the screen with a gentle swirling motion. Kind of like applying a wax job to your car.

1) Tooth Paste – Seems to work well with the advantage of a better smelling phone. But use the Paste type not the Gel type.

2) Baby Powder – Mix it with a little water and create your own paste.

3) Baking Soda – Not only good to keep your refrigerator smelling fresh, but can do some amazing things with scratches as well.

4) Brasso, Silvo or other leather care product, has the ability to get into the scratches and remain clear. Unfortunately they have a strong smell.

I hope you can see the pattern here. I looks like different types of pastes and creams are what you should be shooting for. If these don’t work, go to your local pharmacy and see what non abrasive pastes & creams they have.

Prevention:

To me, the easiest way to prevent a scratch is to be careful with your item. But I know that is not always as easy as it sounds. So the next best thing to me is to use the Invisible Sheild from www.Zagg.com. I beleive in the beauty of the product, (your new phone, camera or computer probably got you hooked on its looks in the first place) and I would not like to mar it with thick and obtrusive covers of any kind. Believe me, the Invisible Shield, (or at least something like it), is a great little addition to protect your investment.  For more info on their wide range of products, look them up on Youtube or visit their website.
