Hello guys. I noticed yesterday a hairline scratch at the bottom center of the gorilla glass of the M17X R2.
It is not a deep scratch but once screen is powered on, the hairline scratch gives this annoying rainboy affect.
Are there any solutions to filling or polishing the scracth. I have yet to try the vasaline trick. Just wanted to ask for help on this first before I do anything stupid.
I wouldn't have mind replacing the actual gorilla glass bezel but the process (as seen in a teardown video) is very difficult since the gorilla glass is glued down hard and is not like an "easy snap on snap off" process like my M11X R3 bezel.
Any help would be great. I heard of people using car polish to help with scratches. I was thinking since scratch is not on actual LCD itself but on the gorilla glass, that polish should be safer to use.

Trying to replace the gorilla glass bezel could cause even more issues. I would recommend you to try the vaseline trick, I personally don't recommend any of the methods found online, I've tried some of them and none has worked for me.

Any other tips and solutions guys? I was wondering what kind of glass material is used on the M17X R2 gorilla glass?

I thought it was plastic actually, so just use any methods you would normally use for plastic scratches. There was some compound you could buy which takes scratches out but I cannot remember the name unfortunately.
