I accidentally scratch my laptop, how to remove the scratch of it?

if there is an actual physical scratch in the plastic (as in you can't wipe it off), short answer: you probably can't.
every attempt at removing it would remove the texture of the plastic surface around it and would most likely look worse than that tiny scratch.

I can barely even see that scratch.

I think I've read stories about people re-finishing iPhones using headlight cleaner, but it's a pretty involved-looking process.

It seems the old standby for tiny car scratches is nail polish, if you can find the right shade.

yeah, but iphones have smooth surfaces, you can restore a smooth surface, you can't restore the matte textured plastic easily.

AI missed the mark this time.
It's a bot,
I can't find it but one post was something like whats the name of your wifi ssid? really?
Found this though
Is WiFi harmful?

Still as this post says it generates some interesting discussions so I see no harm.
Can we please put the muzzle on Muz?

As for scratches on laptops, or anything it just add's character. Everyone gets a battle scar or 2 in life.

Let's stay on topic please. The user account in question is not a bot.

Right, stay on topic. Does this have anything to do with playing old games on supported Windows?

Moved to Marvin -> General Old Hardware, I guess.

I wouldn't bother with it. If you are that obsessive you can try a magic eraser, only caveat is that a magic eraser might remove some of the texture of the plastic.
