My ipod has a little scratch on the screen part. I know you can buy stuff online like at http://www.ipodcleaner.com/ I was just wondering if there was something anyone has boughten at a store. Thx.

There are rumors of toothpaste working. I would also think that any sort of plastic or glass buffer substance would work. Personally, I'd stick with the iPod specific stuff. I wouldn't want to take a chance and end up ruining the screen.

Brasso works great. You can buy it in any supermarket.

I've personally had really good luck using iKlear Apple Polish. It's available from http://www.klearscreen.com/ or from the online Apple Store. I use it about once a week on my 12" RevB Powerbook and on my 3g 20G iPod and it works great. It does take some getting use to though because it is polymer-based and it requires a good deal of gentle rubbing to get rid of all the streaks. It seems to do a great job of cleaning/protecting my Apple goodies though.
