depends how bad the scratches are..

minor ones can be buffed off with just toothpaste, not so minor ones but still minor can be dealt with autosol...

larger ones will be tough to get rid of and dangerous too.. coz u basically wearing down the glass to get rid of the scratch...

yep. think i'll try to do that first. wonder whether they'll charge me a bomb. haha...

that's is IF they can fix it lahz... ;)

Can always ask them for advice. Does'nt neccessarily mean you have to pay them to have them do it. ;)

Always something more important than fish.
