Very small nick (like tip of sharp pencil) in my MBP screen - john dough - 12-18-2008
I thought I had a stuck pixel, but when I turned it off it was still there, and I can barely feel the indentation that tells me that it is physical, on the glass itself. I must have closed the lid on something that did this.
I can live with the "damage" but you know how it is, if you know it is there, you tend to notice it more, and it is almost at the dead center of the screen.
Is there anything to repair such a scratch? This is the new MBP with the one-piece body.
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

I've used this on many things (iPods, laptops, etc.) with much success: http://www.ccrane.com/radios/radio-accessories/novus-plastic-scratch-remover.aspx

is there an anti-glare (anti-reflex) coating on the display, and if so, will this remove it?

Yeah, I'd be worried about a potential coating.
I trick I learned to polish the plastic crystal on my Swatches though--
toothpaste as a rubbing compound.

Oops, hit quote instead of edit.
I should add-- this was before gel toothpaste :-)

Don't all the new aluminum books have glass screens? I don't know if the Novus stuff would work...
