Brasso is a VERY BAD idea. I tried in on both an Ipod Photo and two PSPs. The problem is, Brasso contains petroleum distiliates, which not only make your gadgets smell real bad after you’ve applied and then cleaned them (and from what I can tell there is no way to get rid of this smell- they are permanently tainted), but you end up touching these petro chemicals and inhaling them every time you handle your gadget. They make your hands tingle or burn (for lack of a better word) the same way getting gas on your hands does.. it gets under your skin and no amount of washing with remove this feeling. I have tried cleaning the gadgets with liquid soap, and glass cleaner, to no avail… they continue to smell. Considering the high petroleum content of this chemical, I would not even recommend it for polishing metal, such as sinks or faucets, or anything that humans come into contact with.

hi i also have ipod video 5g black and i read a forum on the ipod 5g and the nano’s scratches and they also recommended that people with scratched ipods use brasso, so i went out to the supermarket and bought a small can of brasso with a cloth thats inside the can that u tear off (this looks like it helps alot more than the other types of brasso) and it worked ok for me, and only took me two minutes. I must say leaving the Brasso’s smear on the ipod might be the cause of the scratching as you are suppose to wipe the smears with a fine dried cloth until it has gone, as for me it left my ipod looking shining new and the one major scratch i had on it has faded. I have to admit it feels dodgy wiping metal polish on your ipod but if you do it correctly it should be fine. I recommended brasso to anyone who is concerned about the scratches on their ipods, especially the peeps with the black ones as the black ipods are suppose to have more noticable scratches.
