What's the easiest was of restoring a mobile phone screen that has just gone very dull with lots of very fine scratches?
It's a Samsung Steel and I don't think you can get the screen cover on its own.
TIA

You might be able to get a replacement screen
(then think about 'screen protectors' or a protective case!).
If it's plastic - I had a map measurer with an almost illegible plastic dial (owing to sctrtches etc) and I polished it out with Brasso and a soft cloth. I'd normally say "try it in an inconspicuous area first, but there probably isn't one...

Toothpaste. Sounds daft, but it works.

It may be possible to do this but when I tried this with my Samsung mobile, it wore off some kind of coating on the plastic lense and it looked worse than before I tried polishing it with the Brasso. I ended up having to replace the lense which required complete disassembly of the phone.
However, I still routinely remove scratches from CDs and DVDs using Brasso with great success.

Micromesh abrasives. Axminster do a sampler pack.
Toothpaste doesn't work any more (for most brands), unless you find a really old-school smoker's toothpaste.
What anout those bicarb based toothpastes - they use the bicarb as an abrasive.
Do you mean the likes of Euthymol and Eucryl? I use both but am now struggling to find Euthymol locally.
Amway used to make some stuff specifically for the op's purpose but I don't know if the product is still available.

Novus plastic polish, great fro cleaining pinball playfields some car shops used to stock it for windows on softops and used by pilots of light aircraft for canopies, 3 is coarse , 2 is a possble its very fine, 1 is just a cleaner.

Proper toothpaste contains china clay as an abrasive doesn't it?
What sort of success rate do you have with this method? Do you ever fail?

If the scratches are not too deep on DVDs, I can normally remove them completely. Deeper scratches may be impossible to remove totally.
However my warning still stands with mobile phone display lenses regarding the lense coating.
I meant this stuff
Thanks

sand? surely not (too abrasive)
Meguiars PlastX, works a treat on faded/cloudy headlights too.
