I have looked around for anything that would minimize or remove scratches from a monitor but all I get are screen scratches and not exteriors of monitor. I have a CRT and not an LCD.

I don't think using the wax or chemicals for cars would be ideal in this case and may be too strong.

I have included a short clip of what I'm talking about:

This is a small spot on the exterior. The rest of the exterior is clean. It was my fault that these scratches occurred. This is a nice monitor and if I could at least hide it good that would be great.

Does anyone know what would work to hide these scratches, besides possible a thin gray marker?

You might look at what's available for photography lenses or for repairing CDs.

those scratches look as if they are through the surface and into the plastic..

use some masking tape, newspaper and a small paint spray pack.. ??

find a sticker to cover it ??

model airplane paint with a fine brush ??

I use to do photo retouching of negatives and prints back in the day. hmmmm. Maybe if I find some dye that matches the gray color I might be set.
