I have a horrible habit of putting things into my pocket along with my car keys. In the case of hand-held radios, the combination of metal keys is a scratch just waiting to happen.
Such was the fate of my trusty TH-F6. The screen had become almost frosted from minor scratches and a couple of very deep ones were quite distracting. It had gotten to the point that it was hard to read.
I finally broke down and logged into my favorite store (Amazon — but HRO is a close second) and searched for plastic screen polish. I was rewarded with several choices. One in particular caught my eye (and not just because there were about six different prices for the same thing). It was a set of 3 buffing/polishing compounds made by Novus. #3 for deep scratches. #2 for small scratches, and #1 for polishing to a bright finish.
I took about 10 minutes today to use #2 and #1 several times, and I can tell you that my screen looks almost brand new (if I try, I can just see a faint bit of the deepest scratch left behind). More than likely going to #3 would take out the last of the scratch — but I didn’t even bother as the improvement was already good enough.
Check for “NOVUS 7136 Plastic Polish Kit” on amazon.com. Note that when I did that, there were a couple of different prices for the same thing. I ordered the least expensive one yesterday and it came in UPS this morning.
