Remove scratches from glossy plastic

Question

Do it yourself

I bought a monitor a couple of days ago, a dead pixel appeared, I want to return it. Returns are not accepted due to a scratch on the idiotic glossy stand. Please tell me how to remove. At home there is GOI green pasta - will it work?

Answer 1

A couple of months ago I saw scratch remover liquid in a store with mobile phones. It seems like it fills a scratch and hardens there, in theory it should turn out imperceptibly, but I haven’t tried it myself. And you can also make new scratches with paste, turn it from glossy to matte.

Answer 2

Does the stand unscrew? Try to agree that you leave the stand from the new monitor to them, and take the old scratched one for yourself.

Answer 3

Purely theoretically - yes. It's best to try something else first. And then somewhere you don’t calculate the strength and it will only get worse

Answer 4

Pasta GOI is better not needed. Even if it turns out to be polished (which is unlikely - the shape is complex, the surface is large), it will no longer look like a new / factory stand.

Answer 5

Better write a claim and remember this store for the future. And then you will rub it to the hole, it will only be harder to prove you are right. If you still have a desire to try, I recommend displex paste (http://goo.gl/5w2pI), helped out a couple of times. Just first test on an inconspicuous area of ​​plastic with a similar coating.

Answer 6

If they didn’t accept it the first time, they won’t accept it anymore - they will find something to get to the bottom of. The store, in general, is not obliged to accept the return of a working monitor. Here's how to agree.

Answer 7

If the marriage => must be accepted in any case (with a refund without reservations, since less than 15 days have passed).
If not marriage => you are not obliged to do anything, but they can meet halfway.
But since you have one pixel, then this is not a marriage, and since they have already been refused once, they don’t really want to meet halfway.

Answer 8

Have you tried to remove the broken pixel, maybe it is not completely broken, but just “stuck”? You can try to massage a pixel, as well as remove it programmatically (special programs that change the colors of adjacent pixels).

Answer 9

If not a deep scratch, then try a good car polish, just not abrasive.
