[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1097166, member: 56379"] Both of these are creative ideas...but both may do more harm than good. Brasso is abrasive...and although it might get rid of light scratches...the abrasiveness of Brasso will cause damage to the aluminum finish in the area that it is used. Buffing compound for cars will do the same thing. Where its used will cause a change in the laptops finish (just like Brasso)...and you'll be left with an "odd" looking area on the laptop where it is used. By "odd" I mean that the laptops surface will be more shiny, less shiny, or not have the "natural" matte aluminum finish that it originally had. When it comes to scratches on the aluminum Apple laptops...you either have to prevent them from occurring in the first place...or live with them once you have them. Trying to remove the scratches (in most cases) will do more harm than good. - Nick [/QUOTE]
