TER80D Legacy Donating Member 48 Member For: 15y 2m 12d Posted 16/09/12 11:16 AM Posted 16/09/12 11:16 AM Hi Guys,I've recently received my G6E Turbo back from the smash repairer after an unfortunate incident and one of the guys obviously loves to touch shiny surfaces and has left permanent finger prints on the surrounding plastic of the LCD screen. I've tried everything I know of to try and remove the marks but they just won't come off. I CBF going through all the hassle of talking to the insurer to get the repairer to fix it because I think that it would be a monumental fight that would cost me time and hair off my head that I can't afford.So my question is, does anyone know if the Black surrounding plastic (shown below) can be replaced at all ?

Apparently the plastic is integrated with the entire ICC and for a cool $4,800 I can get a new one. I think I'll just try some polish.Anyone tried Meguiars Scratch X on something like black glossy plastic ? Edited 17/09/12 06:09 AM by TER80D

They fukked it, they pay for it. Stuff that..its your pride and joy and may affect your resale. Screw em I say mate
