Question [Q] Bezel got (micro) scratched; How to safely remove them?

Hey folks,

Has anyone here ever tried to remove micro-scratches/swirls from the bezel? My bezel got scratched and it annoys me every time I see the phone since the scratch is pretty noticeable under the right angle.

I tried some car polishers that were lying around my house (Kit Scratch Out, Mother's Plastic Polish, etc.) but no luck.

A friend of mine said that he managed to remove similar scratches off his PS3 using some product called Scratch Ex or something -- I can't quite remember the name, LOL -- should I try it?

I'm surprised you getting all loco over a itsy bitsy scratch. Here's a solution, buy a bumper or a case to cover it up. I really doubt all those liquid substances will work. It's not like removing scratches on a CD or DVD.

I'm not sure if you can remove scratches from metal so easily

Blue Magic metal polish would probably do the trick. The bumper is actually what caused the scratches on my bezel, so now I go nekkid

The bezel is made of metal? I doubt it. Imho it is plastic with a chrome finish.
