Anyone know if there is a way to reduce scratches on a GPS screen? I thought I heard that wiping it with Pledge would help, anyone know if this is true?
Scratches on GPS?

Buy a Lexerd screen cover. They work great, I've used one for years. They don't affect touch screens at all.

I've got some to put on it but it's scratched up as it is. I was hoping to buff some scratches out or something first.

I have no idea if this will work, but what about the stuff you can use to clean the headlights on your car?

I would think the headlight polish would work good.
Another option: I had an old Garmin I used overseas and it got all scratched up riding around in my vest. after it was all scrathed up I stuck a piece of clear packing tape over the screen to protect it from further scratching, and I was pleasantly surprised that the adhesive on the tape filled in the scratches. I could see through it much better after putting the tape on it.

Yep i know!
But whether you can get hold of it is another matter.
Its called 'jewellers rouge' it's a very fine powder that jewellers use to buff up glass on watches.
Sadly i used up my last supply which was given to me by a glazier.
Take it from me Mtlion, it works.
Checkout evilbay.

Optometrists use a compound that sounds like what devin described on glasses. Might be worth checking out.

Good question! I keep my Garmin attached to my backpack so I can easily get to it, but more often then not forget about it when I remove my pack and toss it on the ground. I'm getting a few scratches too. Thanks for asking this Q and thanks for the responses.
