I've got several small scratches where the Sony light meets the reader screen, these scratches are on both the light and screen. They're not bad enough to make anything unreadable but they are mildly annoying. Has anyone tried buffing out these scratches with superfine polish?

Also, I notice the reader screen has a matte effect to it, so buffing it too much would make it shiny - does anyone know if this will affect readability (I'm guessing it wouldn't).

The reader with the light cover sits in my bag most of the time, and I guess some dirt particles got in there and were sandwiched between the screens for a while. It's annoying but neither part is damaged to the point I want to look into replacing them, so right now I'm just curious about doing a minor repair if possible.
