Make a happy Book

Hey, my iBook is almost coming to it's 1st boughtday, and I was thinking of spiffying it up a bit. Does anyone know a safe way to buff out scratches on my iBook and have it keep that awesome Apple sheen to it? Thanks

You should take it out on a date. I know iBooks love coffee houses!

Just make sure it has a hot spot!

you gotta wine and dine before you go looking for that hot spot

if I were gonna buff the scratches out of something, I'd be using a random orbital buffer and some meguiars polishing compound. But thats pretty hardcore. easier would be to pull the plastics off, remove the apple logo (it comes out) and then wet sand the plastics with 1000 grit sanding film. that'll take the surface down and clean up the scratching. course, it may need a litle polish to remove any swirling, but you should get a decent shine.

What about getting scratches/scuff marks off of a PowerMac G4 case? And an AlBook G4?

it's not a matter of want, it's a matter of NEED
i sound ridiculous

Brasso is for the metal part, not the plastic, that may melt it. The powerbooks are painted, so you would need touch up paint. Not sure about the new ones though.

well, maestro, I know thats its intended use, but have a look at this,

Are you sure they're painted? It looks more like texturized aluminum... I have a fatty rub mark on the bottom, and it doesn't look like a patch of missing paint: it looks like a spot where the aluminum got detexturized.
