Hi. Had 3-4 light scratches. IPad Pro 2nd Gen (2017)

Read on an Apple Community Forum how someone used sandpaper to polish out scratches. Eager and inspired, tried to lightly sand out my 3-4 light scratches. Realized poster meant Jeweler's sandpaper (3000 - 7000 grit) not Woodworking 120 Grit! Also, sanded dry surface not wet with water. Learn with a burn.

Note: Can't feel scratches with fingernail.

Tried
- Disclaimer: Describing what I did at my own risk - (Ipad out of Warranty) - do not do this for your own self
- Nu-Finish Car Polish - by hand with a Progo Micro-fiber cloth
- Jeweler's Sandpaper (on wet surface) 3000 - 5000 - 7000 grit - by hand

Read your post using DA Polisher / 3M compound - Any hope here? Thanks!

Also - very small broken glass at lower edge on IPad - how can I "Fix" this?
