What is this display polish paste? What's it normally used for? I'm curious
because I've really worn out some areas on my screen. It has even begun
interfering with writing, as the stylus stumbles over these worn places...
Unfortunately, most of them are merely expansions of minor blips that were
on the screen when I bought it. Where could one get this paste? Doe it
really look fine after being removed?
(I sometimes use NuShields, but my jaggies somehow seem much worse when I
have NuShields on) :-( TIA
