I've tried searching the forums but I couldn't quite find what I needed.

Is there any company, preferably in west Canada or at least in North America, that professionally fix scratches on the shiny metal body and the screen? Alternatively, is brass polish the best solution for milimeter deep scratches?

Would it not be much easier to get a paint job on your iMod similar to EFNs?

I would try Brasso on the metal back first. It is cheap and found in just about any supermarket (at least in USA).

Use toothpaste on the front for the deep ones, then move to brasso to take out the smaller scratches you made, then onto silver polish to take out the tiny ones the brasso made.

This should work on the back too.

I did this on my secondhand Zen Vision M then brought a Best Skin Ever for it, its the same as th Invisible Shield, but alot cheaper!!

Hope i helped! Give it ago, even if you dont have the stuff to do it, buying it costs like £5 = $10.........

Actually the paint job is not easy to do considering that if you want to get a clean result, the unit will have to be dismantled and parts are painted individually.

The cheapest and easiest option is to get a very-very fine Sandpaper and work on the rear panel to get rid of the bling look. Work the sandpaper in ONE DIRECTION only and I guarantee the result will be quite stunning (brushed metal look)

Yes, that would be best bet for you. I believe someone at ilounge' done that and it did look amazing, than cover it by BestSkinsEver.

Check out this review of Radtech's Ice Creme. I have also read a positive review in a Mac magazine but cannot personally endorse this product since have never used it.

ETCHamac.com is pretty cool. They offer scratch removal and custom laser etching...check out their products and services area on their website!

Brushed look

Wow, that brush look is quite a nice touch. Maybe you can get different fine grain sandpapers and do a textured stripe look : D

You can mask them up...like have flames that are shiny, and the rest brushed...
