Radtech makes a product called "Ice Cream" that virtually removes very nasty scratches from the iPod, front and back. MacAddict gave it their highest rating stating that they were able to restore their iPod with the deepest scratches but there were no pics to show the evidence. Radtech's websight has no pics of before and after either. I just bought a new 20GB iPod and I want to keep it looking at it's best. We all know how easy it is to scratch our iPod's.
Has anyone tried it yet or have any feedback?
Here's the websight.

Haven't tried it, but thanks for the link. I like RadTech's products, even though they're a bit overpriced. I'm definitely going to give shot sometime soon.

Yes, I bought some when I visited Radtech's booth this past MacWorld SF. The stuff works pretty good. I had a bunch of minor scratches and 2 deep scratches that ran down the middle of my iPod's display. It took about an hour of polishing and buffing using the A bottle formula (severe abrasion) to remove the deeper scratches. Finished it off by applying some of the B bottle formula (light abrasion formula). I'm sorry I don't have any before and after pictures but I do remember seeing some over at the ipodlounge forums.

I have some stuff called iCleaner. Got it at a Mac specific store here. I'm going to use it to get out some scuffs on my iPod's screen. I am waiting for my digital camera to arrive, so I'll wait for it to use the stuff so I can take some shots. I'm sure the 2 products are quite similar. I should have pics up later this week (maybe Thursday).

Sounds good so far. Thanks for the replies. Yeah I remember Radtech mentioning on their web sight that it takes about 30-45 minutes to buff out the scratches. Well worth the time to make the iPod look like new again.

One more thing...once you get the iPod looking new, I read somewhere that it helps to use PDA screen protectors on the iPod to prevent further damage. After I got some initial scuffs and scratches, I've been using some for the Sony Clie NX70V - two of them fit nicely across the back of 3G iPod.
