2000 grit sandpaper + rubbing compound + car wax = mostly scratch free Ipod.

So my 30gig ipod was pretty scratched up from over 2 years of abuse, and so I decided to run a little experiment to see if it would actually work. I just spent about 30 minutes rubbing out the scratches on the front and back of the ipod with the sand paper and then buffing it a bit with the rubbing conpound. It works pretty well, I had to use a little bit of wax to get rid of the dullness though.

I don't recommend that EVERYONE try this, but I did it just because I knew I didn't really have much to lose if it didn't work.

Insomnia sparks the creativity and ambition in me sometimes.

 

hmm.. mine is getting there so i'll test some where then on the ipod how good does it look?

 

coool, I might give it a try since my ipod is pretty scratch up from the back.

 

ill give it a shot and if it dosent work i know who to blame!!!!!! try fail repeat ur a dead man jk jk ha ha

 

insomiac does that to people lol

 

mine is in a case (thanks brent) so its scratch free.

 

pics!!!

 

It's not exactly perfect, but it's a lot better than it was. The finish on mine was kinda dull before I sanded it so...

I'll post pics in a bit. I don't have any before shots, but you'll get the general idea. There's just one sort of gnarly scratch I can't get rid of though....Oh well. It's still better.

 

oops i didnt know that.

 

Hehe, It's ok.
