Try Toothpaste or Polishing Compounds (Use with Extreme Caution)

1

Description

Some household abrasives or specialized polishes are sometimes suggested online for buffing out scratches, but this is risky.

Recipe/Instructions

  1. Disclaimer: This method is highly risky and can easily make the screen look worse or damage the oleophobic (oil-repellent) coating. Proceed at your own risk and only attempt on very minor scratches.
  2. Apply a tiny amount of non-gel white toothpaste or a specialized glass/plastic polish (like Displex) to a cotton swab or soft cloth.
  3. Gently rub the scratch in a small circular motion with very light pressure for a short time.
  4. Wipe the screen clean with a slightly damp cloth.
  5. Assess if there's any improvement. Do not overdo it.
  6. This rarely works well and often causes more harm than good.
