Got lots of scratches on a Garmin 705. I should have protected it in the first place with packing tape. They're not deep but are beginning to obscure the screen underneath when on a low backlight setting.

I've polished out scratches on my Dakota's screen with toothpaste.

I was gonna say - toothpaste has always worked on my watches that have scratched faces...probably do the same for the GPS.

I have scratches on my computer and tried to get them out with bar keepers friend, but it made no difference. I am going to try this Novus product.
