Hi all

Is there any easy way to restore a Evic vtc mini's outer screen if it's all scratched up with lots of little scratches?

And does anyone know of a thin enough vinyl wrap (preferably carbon fibre) that i could wrap the mod with?

Any advice would be much appreciated!

didnt try on a mod yet but done small scratches in my iphone screen and big scratches on ipod or the case of a computer with brillo , that liquid used to polish silver etc
 
Try using "Mr Min", spray a little on your finger and use the finger to rub the screen, repeat until all scratches are gone.

I've used this method to restore the small LCD screens on Logitech G15 keyboards that were scratched to sh1t.
 
Slow and steady wins the race. Small circles with a qtip. Wait till it dries out then rub off with a sif cloth. Use it to polish almost everything. Just keep doing it over and over until your happy but dont press too hard or it will damage plastic.

Edit: saw now the name isnt in the pic its sonax from builders auto section.

Most of the metal type polishes leave fine scratches, best to try it on an old cd to see if its suitable.
Meguiar's Plastx used for headlights worked for me, from Builders Warehouse.

Hi @KingSize . Regarding carbon fibre vinyl wrap. I bought some from Midas to wrap my RX200. Works fine and stays stuck.. Can't remember the price but it was fairly cheap.. You get a 1500X500mm sheet so you will be able to wrap mods well into your retirement. I would offer to give you some but I am in Cape Town.

@KingSize just remembered I got some matt black vinyl wrap from Maizey's (sign writers supplies mostly vinyl and perspex) cost about R26 for 1,25m x 1m.
They have a monster range of colors from neon to metallic, dunno about CF wrap though.

I wrapped my Suzuki Swift's rear pillars 3 years ago and it still looks good.
