What polishing removes
- Minor scratches and scuffs that appear from keys, sand, and carrying your device in a pocket for a long time.
- Haze and hairline scratches on the glass, visible at an angle to the light.
When polishing won't help
- Chips, cracks, and deep scratches that catch a fingernail. Polishing removes a thin layer of glass and does not fill in deep damage.
- Spots, lines, and image issues — this is display matrix damage, which requires a screen replacement.
If you are in doubt, bring your screen in for an inspection: we will tell you what result can actually be achieved before we start working.
How the polishing process works
- Free inspection: we assess the depth of the scratches under light.
- We tell you what result to expect and agree on the cost.
- We will specify the turnaround time after inspecting the glass and assessing its condition.
- We clean the screen and show you the result.
After polishing, the protective oleophobic coating of the glass may become weaker, making fingerprints more noticeable. A screen protector or film solves this and protects the screen from new scratches.
