On a bad iBook, I used several SeeClear swabs, which are eyeglass cleaning swabs, readily available in drugstores; Costco sells em, too. *gentle* scrubbing with these cleaned most of the marks off, at least so they're not noticeable when the screen's on. Scratches, on the other hand, are different...I don't know how to get rid of those. -- Bruce Johnson This is the sig who says 'Ni!' -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Curing screen-scratches?
I've used a liquid buffing compound for polishing plexiglass windshields. I looks like brown water and it can be bought from an auto parts store. I'll warn you though that it can make the area that your fixing look a little shiny when the laptop is off.

Re: Curing screen-scratches?
The liquid lens stuff ruined a pair of eyeglasses--fogged them up something terrible. I wouldn't rcommend it at all. One of the magazines (MacAddict?) had an article about restoring an ipod with scratches (yes I know the material is different than a PB screen) and said that the toothpaste urban legend seemed mostly that--apparently it left a mess rather than a smooth shiny surface.

Curing screen-scratches?
I've been sent some old P'Books (another Pismo another Wallstreet) and the soft acrylic LDC overlay that's used is particularly marred by screen-scratches. I was hoping that the one with the Pismo would be in good condition, but such is not the case. Has anyone figured out a way of removing the key-marks on the screen?
