@SHEIKHD7 No, by sanding with higher and higher grit your making the cloudiness of the previous sand paper less and less noticeable until the micro scratches are so small that the human eye can not notice.
Thanks for the information. However, I tried it the way "tamerabubakr" suggested and it worked perfectly...for me at least. My phone basically had hairline scratches so there wasn't really a need to go through each grade of sandpaper.
@SHEIKHD7 As long as you don't have super deep scratches you should be fine, just light scratches are easy to get out, you might even be able to just get the rubbing compound to get them out if they are light scratches.
This video Is really good sadly I can't do it on my iPhone but it's that of a big scratch and they will probably sell sprays for your iPhone if it's scratched or I can just ask my dad who's an electrician yep ill just ask my dad see ya
Or just glue a long strip of strop leather and add green stropping compound. It will be like 8000 grit so it will take hours but there is little or no risk. Just face the phone screen down onto it and run it along the leather back and fourth and it will slowly go back like brand new.
I am scared to do it on my Curve 9360, I don't have insurance and really don't want it to go wrong, but I have a few deep scratches, witch are very annoying.
John: Did the 3M Rubbing Compound make the screen look and feel like it is brand new? By brand new, I mean if you put the screen under a microscope, you will not see any scratch at all. The reason I am asking this question is because I am looking for a way to restore the LCD screen on my DSLR digitial camera to its factory condition. Thanks.
Miguars scratch x 2.0 works for fine scratches to I got my iPod touch 2g and my ps3 and a dvd scratch less with that I'm goona buy more for my iPhone 4
You can apply this on touchscreen phones also. Repaired a fairly damaged 3Gs screen using the same technique, but is much more easy if you have an electrical tool for polishing :) I didn't, btw :))
I used a headlight lens kit from harbor freight... just used the left over stuff... worked great too, but I'm not as entertaining as this guy... good job on this vid.
Do you have to take off my housing on my blackberry bold 9780, or can i just take out the battery and tape the sides good then sand it or will i get water damage?
Would that be safe for a HTC Wildfire S? Because its like a capacitive, touch screen, bad enough it has dust under neith the screen, i want to get rid of scratches >.>
@miguelanimal im not kidding i just put it in the freezer for like a day or more deepending on how srached it is..
it doent damage the cd(or dvd) i forgot about a cd i pt in the freezer left it there for many weeks nothing happened (i have not tried this for blu-ray)
@wadisupyo Polish buffs at a very microscopic level, usually not enough to make a scratch disappear as they are a little too deep. That's where the sandpaper comes in.
awesome video man, same technic we use to get cars looking like glass :P we go from 400 to 600 to 800 to 1000 1500 2000 and if the customer can afford it 3000
Wetsanding out scratches takes a lot of practice. I do it on cars and the first couple times I made thing worse. This does work. but technique is everything.
Man.. It work on my iphone( retina display too).... Just rub it with sand papers .... and u will find lot of difference in touch reponse .... Best of Luck.... :)lolzz

The toothpaste does the same as the polish in the last step here, as it also contains fine polishing particles (usually titane dioxide). Lotion, Bananas and whatever are of course bullshit (the lotion might mask the scratches by filling them with oil, but only until your rub it off).
The 400 sandpaper looks too coarse for the job to me - depending on how the screen is made, you could easily rub through a top-layer with it.
this DOESNT work, cause 1500 is not fine enough. even 2000 is not fine enough, so you need to use the finest there is - 2500. im telling you this, cause i just tried it with an old glasses i used to wear. and i cant see shit with 2000 finish. ok - i could see shit, but not good enough.
