    Has anyone used car wax or polish on their silver lids to help minimize flaking/scratching?

    It probably would make it a fingerprint magnet, but fingerprints can be wiped away, but scratches can't.

    do not even try to use car polish on a computer! You will instantly damage the painting, because it's abrasive
    Car wax will only make it shine as any wax does, but if the surface isn't really scrached a lot you will not improve anything, and it can be abrasive too, or it can leave dirty spots and it can chemicaly damage the paint

    good luck :D
