Some inconsiderate sole has but a nice scratch down the side of my mini. At first glance it looks like a long hair but on closer inspection it clearly isn't.

Can anyone recommend a polish or other product I could use to remove the scratch or is this unlikely??

thanks for reading

Kind regards.

Normally people say if you can feel it catch on your nail you won't be able to polish it out.

There are products available said to remove scratches but I haven't tried them personally.

How long is it?

I'd say about 10-12 inches. Can't catch my nail on it, it really is a hairline scratch so hopefully someone has had a similar problem and knows of a solutions.

thanks for the replies.
