Hope someone can help....my 2yr old daughter has managed to scratch my
TV - a pretty standard 31" Panasonic flatscreen (not plasma/LCD).

Is there any way to remove this scratch on the glass - it is a
"squiggle" roughly 1 1/2 " long but doesn't seem too deep- but it is
extremely annoying....

Grateful for any advice

The glass used on TV screens is normally tempered, so scratches are
difficult to polish. Some toothpaste on a damp cloth, then buff it hard
with plenty elbow grease behind it, might just take some of the scratch out.
If it isn't to deep, then a rub with duraglit jewellery polish wool might
also make the scratch disappear a bit.

What you need is something that isn't to abrasive really.



I thought that tubes (perhaps some tubes) have coatings of one sort or
another - e.g. anti-reflective etc. Might it be that using an
abrasive, even a mild one would remove an area of this and produce
something more noticable.

How about an insurance claim for accidental damage?
