What's the easiest was of restoring a mobile phone screen that has just gone
very dull with lots of very fine scratches?

It's a Samsung Steel and I don't think you can get the screen cover on its
own.

You might be able to get a replacement screen

(then think about 'screen protectors' or a protective case!).

If it's plastic - I had a map measurer with an almost illegible
plastic dial (owing to sctrtches etc) and I polished it out with
Brasso and a soft cloth. I'd normally say "try it in an inconspicuous
area first, but there probably isn't one...

Micromesh abrasives. Axminster do a sampler pack.

Toothpaste doesn't work any more (for most brands), unless you find a
really old-school smoker's toothpaste.

Do you mean the likes of Euthymol and Eucryl?
I use both but am now struggling to find Euthymol locally.

Amway used to make some stuff specifically for the op's purpose but I don't
know if the product is still available.

Proper toothpaste contains china clay as an abrasive doesn't it?

Depends on the particle size. Brasso, for example, is quite good
in general terms because its abrasive particles are small. (I
have no idea whether it's good enough for this job.)

All surfaces, even mirrors, are entirely composed of scratches,
just small ones.
