    hm but after that the surface doesnt shine like when the player is new...

    There are some special liquids, use google, will cost you a little bot more but you will have better results (;

    PS: This is just a notice, I tried a simular method and for me it is good enough (;

    world2002traveler. I need more information. What do you mean by the "face" of the mp3 player? You mean the screen? The plastic/metal surrounding the screen? Or maybe the whole entire front face? If it's just the display screen, you can use Displex!

    Displex is display polish that comes in a small tube. It works kind of like that Brasso stuff that Steve showed you. I think it dissolves the screen material and actually fills in the scratches on your screen. Here is a link to their web page: Displex - HOME
    Also, you can view their site in different languages.
    You should be able to find it online with ease. There are many auctions on eBay selling Displex for about $8.00 USD.
    Hope that helps ^ ^~
    Good luck!

    Wait! It just hit me! Alright, after you use Displex to remove the scratches from your screen, you should definitely invest in a screen protector, or else your device will just end up scratched again. I recommend The Invisible Shield to you. I use it for my cell phone, all 3 of my PSPs, my Sony CyberShot...yeah, you get the idea. The material they use to make the their protectors is the same material the army uses to protect their helicopter blades. The shields come with a lifetime warranty so if it ever gets dirty, you can send it back to them and they will replace it for free.

    What kind of mp3 player are you talking about anyway? If it happens to be the Meizu M6SL, here is a link to their shield made specifically to fit its screen:
    ZAGG | invisibleSHIELD | Meizu M6SL Cases, Screen Protectors, Covers, Shields, Skins, Invisible Shield
    If it's not the M6SL you're looking at, then you can use their search function to search for your device. They have a realllly wide selection (\(^o^)/)!

    If it's too good to be true, it's often...

    I doubt that. It would be extremely expensive.

    Well that's probably on the top layer of the blade, maybe to prevent the metal from getting scratches?

    Jk, Steve, if you guys have time, check out their website and the videos they have on there. You guys might see something you like :P. All I can say is they have worked for me. As for the price...yes, they're quite pricey! I think it cost me around $20 USD to buy a full body protector for my PSP.

    Could you put some liquid plastic on it to get the deep scratches out? (i'm talking about the stuff they use on top of tables in restaurants.)

    lol, I love how Displex PSed the "scratched" Sony Ericsson so much, that even the earpiece is scratched...

    Anyways, the iPhone 3G does not appear to be covered in anything, but how do we know that it's not an actual super-coating? The selling point of these protectors for me would be if they weren't a fingerprint magnet... Otherwise body protectors just make it worse.

    What would even be the point? I think helicopter blades need to be reliable enough to be able to handle stress on their own.

    No it is to protect helicopter blades from small dings, which affect the lift (Think Aerodynamics).

    @WT Try Polywatch. You can find it on eBay for around $5, and in my book, it is the best one to get if you aren't willing to spend a fortune on RadTech's Ice Creme, which is absoloutly the best money can buy.

    @JkPwNsTeR The iPhone 3G is definetly covered in some sort of scratch resistant coating. You guys probably all know that the screen is made from some sort of hardened glass, so that is out of the question. The back is pretty scratch resistant, trust me, I tried it on a display in the Apple store. It does not scratch easily. I tried rubbing it hard on the table, and nothing happened. I tried with the edge of a paperclip, nothing. I tried very hard with a pin, and alas, a thin hairline scratch appeared.
    If you are having trouble with your player, please visit this thread first and try the steps before you panic. Most likely you will be able to fix your player easily using the steps listed.

    Players: Meizu M6 SP 4GB, iPod Touch 4G
    Headphones: SoundMAGIC PL-50s, Auvio In-Ear Armatures, Bose QC-15s.
    Current Audio Congifuration: X-Fi Elite Pro w/LM4562 Mod -> Mission MS-50 + Boston Acoustics Subwoofer

    Here are some pictures of the Invisible Shield on my phone. You guys can be the judges. It's a pretty good investment because it keeps my stuff in top shape. Great for Meizu M6 imo.

    This shows the shield covering the glass front of my phone. It's not very noticeable. People tell me all the time that they can't believe I have a protector on their. There are shields on the inside of the phone as well, but you can't see those. That yellow/orange picture you see is actually a reflection of a wall scroll I have in my room. Sorry about that.

    About this second image...Sorry! I just couldn't help it xD!

    Then that would be even more expensive for average consumers...
