Right now I am the happiest man alive… unless you’ve been dead for the last year, you would have heard about the dreadful scratching on the Nano, which almost caused (yet another) class action law suit against Apple.

Well, mine was no different - scratched to high heaven, and so much so, that it was sometimes hard to see what was on the screen in lighter conditions.

[did some surfing... as ya do]

I was amazed to find that your normal household Brasso and a piece of micro fiber cloth, some elbow grease and 20-30 minutes of “polishing” can bring your Nano back into the spotlight of gorgeousness

I didn’t have Brasso, but I did have a bottle of Silvo (same polish, only for silverware), the piece of microfiber cloth that came with my PSP, and 30 minutes to kill.

[copious amounts of rubbing, polishing and 30 mins later...]

ALL of my scratches are gone - GONE! It looks like the first time I took it out of the box. I even managed to do the same for the back metal surface too - it is spotless… the very mild abrasive qualities of both Brasso and Silvo gradually and gently smoothed away the surface scratches, and if polished long enough, even the deep ones. Now it’s about time I bought me one of those soft chamois cases.

If you have a Nano, and you don’t have a case, it must look like shit - try what I did above, but be patient - it took me a little over 30 minutes, and about 20 separate applications of Silvo.

Freaking schweet!
