Default Can someone recommend a good plastic scratch remover ?

I have a scratch on the black plastic of my tv and i was wondering if anyone knows of a good plastic scratch remover thats not too abrasive, its a fairly light scratch and not too deep but its very noticeable.

Ask in the Car Care / Detailing section.... one of the nerdy types in there will know of a suitable (yet safe) solution

They use all kinds of mild polish abrasives on there, from carbon fibre through to all types of plastics, but as a rule trying to remove a scratch on a TV will probably make matters worse.

No such thing.

Technical - will drone on for eons explaining the minute detail but will leave you unsatsfied and none the wiser

Specialist - will try and sell you something

Combined - you will be dead in under a minute from your eyes rolling into the back of your head and the wish to impale yourself on something sharp

What I really meant was "special" but that inferred, well let's just say... it involved a window

Thanks for that, ive bookmarked your site which looks good. Is it ok to use a microfibre cloth with Meguiars in trying to remove this scratch or do i need a different type of cloth ?

MF cloth is perfect mate for the job. Wipe on with one side, turn the cloth over, wipe off

You may need to apply some pressure, but let the product do the hard work
