Need a miracle product for scratches

[blueballs]

so yeah my corsair air 540 case got some serious scratches and I am going to sell it pretty soon already got the buyer but just notice some scratches >:c

I know the feeling m8. If you find anything let me know. I scratched the hell out of my PSU last night trying to replace the fan. We both need miracles.

Try cleaning it down with water and scrubbing it with brass cleaner. SCRUB LIGHTLY OR YOU'LL SCREW IT UP EVEN MORE.

or try using paint scratch remover

Sand the whole thing on top to give a 'brushed' look. It will resist scratches better. 

 

 

 

The miracle plastic cover you're looking for is called Clear Contact Paper.

 

Contact paper is basically like wrapping paper, but with a sticky side. So giant tape.

If you were to polish it it will make it glossy, as suggested using scotchbrite to give it a brushed finished is a good option. If you want to polish it to a gloss, this stuff from Novus is really good for plastics:
