I have has these small marks/scratches in my Mac Book Pro screen now for a while and im not sure where they came from but they're not going away. So i was wondering what options i have open to me to make them less noticeable/remove them. The marks are on the plastic covering for the screen and i think i can feel a very small emboss/imprint when i run my nail over them.

The way i see it is...

• I could have a go at them with some tcut/polish to see if i can make them less visible has anyone got any experience with this?

• I could enquire if its possible to replace that piece of plastic (going to cost me an arm and 2 legs i fear)

• Enquire with apple to see if they would cover this on the warranty as i feel like the key board is the likely cause of the marks, i know i have about a 1 in 999,999,999,999 chance of them doing something about it (any one tried this?)

I use a foam cleanser. In the UK it's called Servisol Foam Cleaner 30. I would imagine the slight emboss is just a build up of dirt from contact with the keyboard.
Do NOT use t/cut, it's far far too abrasive.
