Default [Q] Anyone applied screen protector after scratching glass?

I continue to have problems with screen protectors. So, considering going bare and then if I get scratches either adding a protector or buying a replacement screen.

Question is have you scratched the glass then added a protector? If so, did it make the scratch totally invisible? Did you use a wet or dry protector?

Yes, I have. I have a lot of scratches on my screen. Only one of them is deep, the others are light, but are really visable when tilting the phone at an angle.
I applied a screen protector and now all of the scratches are not visable, all but the one deep one, and even then it's not as noticeable as before.
Gorilla Glass doesn't live up to the hype.
Open Source isn't as Open Source as it used to be :/
HTC Sensation.
HP Touchpad.

I had a couple of scratches on my MT4G and installed a phantomskinz "wet" application screen protector and the scratches did not show after. Just take your time on installation. Best screen protector IMHO.
