Scratched iMac Screen

If it is just on the top surface of the screen you could try different cleaners, but for my iPod, I haven't had any luck on any of them working.

Sorry to hear about that. It would really piss me off! Not the kid or the accident itself but knowing my mac isnt perfect anymore.

DO NOT USE DISPLEX!
That stuff was all the rage when the iPod nano and 5G iPods came out. People claimed it takes out the scratches but Displex is ABRAISIVE and on the iPod screens - completley ruined them. On the 5G iPods (after Displex treatment) the screens were rendered unusable!
If using Displex beware!

Of course it's and abrasive. How else would it get the scratches out? AppleSauce is an abrasive too and as I said it worked wonders on my iPod.
On the iMacs the screen is exposed like a laptop's screen.MrCrowbar said:I can do wonders with car finishes, but screens are transparten...
Isn't there some glass covering the LCD-Panel on iMacs? I wouldn't try these wonder lotions. They're good for plastic (iPods, cell phones etx) but I'd be very careful here.
