Default Removing light scratches from a poly macbook.

Wondering if anyone has been down this track?

I have a poly mackbook that I want to get the light scratches out of, nothing more that a build up of everday usage wear marks.

Thought of toothpaste, brasso or a car detailing product such as scratch x.

But before I start experimanting I thought I would ask the question here first

i've used brasso to clean up my ipod from all the scratches - i'd recommend trying a little bit of it on a small area and see if it works ok before you apply it to all affected areas.

I've also used Brasso on the glossy areas of the white macbook, use it with a soft cloth, it works well, even if it takes quite a bit of time and effort.

I've had good success with PlastX (Meguire's plastic cleaner and polish). Toothpaste is another good one - and cheap
