I cant really answer that but maybe you can. it shaves microscopic layers off with every pass. can you polish it long enough to round the pinholes out so they arent an issue or even longer so that the rounded out pinholes are just as flat as the rest of the plastic? it will be perfect if you put the time in.

its the same thing as most of the high quality headlight repair kits. you can use a power tool. However you have to minimize heat from friction otherwise you wont get the clarity you want. all plastic polish works this way. Ive personally never used a headlight restore kit that has you apply a clear coat or filler that creates the clarity that you get from polishing the plastic and then sealing the plastic. filling the holes and building up the surface to polish it back down works and is quicker but the potential for clarity is higher if you polish first.

most plastics will allow you to use sand paper. this is how i restored headlights and fish tanks that are full in the past. you rip the surface down with something that doesnt leave grooves until you are at the same level as the scratches or pits. then you use progressively higher grit wet dry paper to remove the scratches from the previous grit of paper. you can skip as many grits as you want. just remember it takes twice as long to sand if you skip stages of the grit progression.

On my older radio, the screen was part of the motherboard. Too much of a pita to change out.

Thanks for sharing that with us. I'll be sure to get/buy a screen protector for it when I get my M17 in a month or so, waiting on Black Friday deal at Amain.

Hello Dear, As I see the condition of your screen, it's better to replace the screen.
