Ok, if anyone has ever removed scratches from plastic what did you use? Please only recommend something if it worked really good. I am in need of taking scratches out of my laptop lid and my HDTV trim. They look horrible and I would like to get them removed.

If they are deep , no chance ,
if it is just light scuffing an automotive cutting paste may work , but try it on a hidden part first ,

They aren't deep scratches at all. I just need a good cleaning product. I am thinking about buying a skin for the laptop, but they don't make them for my HDTV.

 I have seen others use toothpaste to remove light scratches from a cd. Seems to work. Just use a decent brand. LIke the other suggestion. Try in a hidden spot first.

I've tried toothpaste a long time ago. Never worked on small scratches on CD's or plastic. I think the toothpaste stuff is a myth.

toothpaste is a polish , , and may well blend  very light scratches , but you got to look at "what is a scratch and why does it show "  basically it is a layer of the surface that has been removed , it's lost and gone , all you can hope for is remove the high ridge either side of it and hope it don't show so much , there is no magic scratch remover out there , if there was 1/2 the auto paint shops would be out of business ,
unfortunately the surface on computer parts (silver or black ?) is only a few microns thick , if the scratch has cut through that into the base material you are out of luck ,
