If it's plastic, YEA! Cell phone screens, CDs, DVDs, ... anything made out of plastic and it's also the best metal polish I have ever used, and I used a LOT of metal polish while in the Marines. ;)

Better than Brasso? :Q

Hmm. This gives me an idea.

brb......

Edit: I have some Meguire's All Metal Polish around.. It works really well on metal, hadn't tried it on plastic. It's non-abrasive.. Seems that it could work well.

I tried some on my cell phone screen. It didn't seem to do anything.. Didn't hurt it, but didn't take the scratches out either. Maybe I didn't rub long enough, don't know.

Maybe I should try it with the dremel..

Semichrome polish is completely non-abrasive. It's a very smooth paste.

I've got the three bottle kit (#1 - course, #2 - medium, and plastic cleaner / glaze) I love the stuff. We used #2 and cleaner on the plastic signs & stuff in our trade show booth.

I recover CDs/DVD with it, polish my reading glasses (cheap plastic), pretty much anything plastic; it's all very good.


FWIW
