Just wondering if anyone has found a way to remove (or at least reduce) scratches on an R-series hard plastic LCD cover. I don't mean anything deep at all, just surface scratches. I've tried a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on several T-series lids and it worked wonders, but I'm a bit hesitant to try it on an R. Thanks.

Goo Gone and/or Magic Eraser.

Good luck.

Nothing will remove scratches from ABS plastic. Armour-all will cover them though.

I was actually thinking of scuffing all the plastics and giving them a Dura-Coat finish.
