(HD) How to remove scratches from the iPod touch with autosol

I was looking for a way to remove the scratches from my iPod and couldn't find any answers on youtube so when I did find out how to do it I figured I'd show you guys. The end result isn't as perfect as a new never used iPod but its damn close.
Guys...Autosol is a great product but use it with caution on delicate items such as iPods. At the end of the day, Autosol is a polish and, therefore, slightly abrasive meaning it will slowly remove the layers of metal. Obviously, the more times you use it and the greater the pressure you apply when rubbing it, the more top-surface metal you will remove. ~Markle87

@98Nash76 A lot of metal polishes are watery, Autosol is thick so its less likely to run into your ports, just keep it on the metal and out of the holes and you'll be fine. Idc about brass polish, i never tried it.

@Carmador Right after you toast it and apply the peanut butter

@lego398 so idk what to tell you? Live with it maybe? Get a case? Ah the otterbox commuter case looks really sic for the ipod touch 4 id get 1 of those but im rockin the iPhone 4s now so keeping stainless shiny isnt 1 of my 99 probs lol

@lego398 In that case i believe you are screwed, i wouldnt be as worried about the camera as the mic hole back there, you dont want to plug that. So if you could be supper careful and not get any in there, or if you knew how to take it apart and clean it when you have access to the other side... But that would void the warrenty and you might ruin your ipod in a number of different ways trying that,

@marfg12345 i never got mine to look like factory new either, i dont think you could get rid of the logo with autosol on a cloth. If its still there after you took a scratch pad to it your probably safe. Maybe try using a softer cloth for less tiny scratches. Your english is just fine :D

[bananalicks]

@marfg12345 yes, if the spunge you used left surface scratches and it looks cloudy it will take a few more applications then normal but it works. Thats how i first tried it on another ipod, i used 0000 steel wool and i could no longer see my reflection in it. Autosol brought it back to shiny:)

@server642 it actually fills in the ridges (scratches), and turns clear(chemical reaction with the metal) amazing what a auto-mechanic knows huh?

I was happy you didnt try to wipe you ipod with bananas. 

[Carmador]

when do i apply the banana?

[98Nash76]

can i use brass metal polish ? or is it a 'must' to use autosol ? 1 more question...will this effect the hardware ?

[docketter]
