LED displays and your kitchen floor Message #1 Posted by John Garza (3665) on 15 Nov 2002, 10:42 a.m. I've heard for years that Future Wax was the way to go for clearing up fine scratches on models with LED displays. Well, tried it last night on a TI as a test and it looked horrible. Perhaps I didn't use enough; I applied it with a Q-tip. Some patches were smooth & shiny, others rough and slightly foggy. And yes, the plastic was cleaned thoroughly before application. Luckily, 409 spray cleaner strips the stuff without damaging the plastic underneath. Perhaps if I flood the plastic with a little lake of the wax and let it dry, the surface may be more uniform? Anyone done this and have it turn out ok? -John

For clearing up fine scratches on models with LED displays (sic), I use tooth paste. Really efficient! Yours.
