How to Remove scratches from a PSP Faceplate

Requirments:

• • 1 can of Brasso or Silvo (Both work just fine, but I use Silvo due do how much I use it for everything else).
  • 2 rags or other type of lintfree cloth.
  • A few LCD cleaning wipe or alcohol wipes.

Instructions:

• 
  There are two way of doing this, but since one voids the warranty, I won't go into detail on it. All you do is take the rag and put a few drops of polish on it. Then rub it in a circular motion in the clear area of the faceplate. Do this untill about half of the scratches aren't noticeable, then rub the other direction.
• 
  Once all the scratches aren't visible, wipe the polish off the PSP using the clean cloth. Be sure to wipe up, away from the buttons, or you'll have a dust problem with the dried polish getting inside the PSP. Once it's all cleaned up, allow the residue to dry and clean it up with an alcohol wipe.
• 
  Now your PSP is scratch free and all clean.
