Hi-
The screen cover on my 17" Princess is scuffed in places, and has some swirl marks on it.
Is there anyone who restores these covers, OR, if someone has a really nice cover for sale, I'd be interested in speaking with them.

Thanks,
Lew

I've read about the following, but have not tried it.

As I understand, you can start with brown automotive polishing compound. Go to the white next, then finish with car wax. I can't remember where I read this, but I know it will get rid of light scratches.
Visit the world's worst TV restoration website.

I have had good results using the Novus polishing kit. Its a bit of manual labor but the results are amazing. Example

It's not what you don't know that hurts you it's what you know that's not so.
