Does anyone know how I can remove surface scratchs from my Cobra 75 wx-st CB? my brother borrowed it for a couple of months and it came back with scratches on the screen part.

Thanks for the help!

A long time ago - we used to clean plastic scratches with toothpaste - it made a very light abrasive.
however you have to rinse it off - I'm not sure the mike would appreciate that.

you can also get plastic polishes at auto parts stores -
but I think you still end up having to clean off the residue after you polish it.

Meguiars makes a polish for plastics(head lights, tail lights, clear plastic, etc) that works great if used correctly. Not sure how it would work on something like that though.

Sounds like the best way to fix those scratches would be to get your brother to buy you a new one. :twisted: :lol:
