scratched plastic GPS display

[summitrider]

I have a Lowrance GPS Expedition C handheld unit and have scratched the plastic GPS display. Has anyone out there used the Meguiar's X product to repair/enhance the clarity of the plastic GPS display screen?

Re: scratched plastic GPS display

Is it the plastic part that is in FRONT of the LCD that displays your stuff?

If so, you can use PlastX or M105 by hand.....

I use M105 then follow with PlastX a lot. I start with PlastX, as with anything, start least aggressive first!

Provided you're talking about a scratch on a very smooth, high gloss plastic screen then you can safely use PlastX. If, on the other hand, the screen has a matte finish to it (or other non smooth and high gloss surface) you're probably out of luck.

I have purchased and used the Plast X product using a terry cloth... seems to have brightened up most of the display... a few of the deeper scratches i think I will have to live with... now to put on some invisible shield to protect what I have recovered....

Thanks for the input....

the scratched portion is indeed the plastic cover, not the LCD display.... you note to do it by hand... I have done so as I did not have a buffer... should I use a buffer or just continue to use hand / elbow grease????
