1 Not as bad as first review would have you believe
With all due respect to the lone critic who two-starred the iCleaner, permit me to disagree somewhat with his conclusions. The iCleaner products are indeed a bit pricey but they do a pretty fair job of cleaning up your iPod.

First, a caveat: your iPod is NEVER going to be as shiny and pristine as the day you popped it out of its little cardboard cube. While it's a durable item, its encasing is simply a bit on the delicate side--you're going to wind up with some scratches here and there no matter how you baby it.

That said, the iCleaner package I purchased contained the maintenance polish, the scratch remover, and the back & deep scratch polish, along with a latex glove and two cloths. You don't have to use much of any of the products to see some results, although you need three things that only you can supply:

* Patience
* Time
* Care

The deep scratch polish is by far the most effective item included because it does remove many of the surface flaws your iPod may have accumulated. Bear in mind that in addition to some elbow grease, you may have to repeat the polishing two or three times to get the most visible results. Unlike the previous reviewer, I had great success polishing the mirrored back surface--even a couple of the uglier gouges were mostly remedied by the polish.

Be cautious with the polishes near your click wheel and button by using a Q-Tip near those areas so you can be more precise. You may get some of the material too close but unlike the previous reviewer I didn't experience any problem with my device's performance even though a little may have gotten in the miniscule crevice between the wheel and the center-button.

My screen had some scratches that were also cured by the iCleaner, so that was a big plus. I'd recommend spending several minutes on both sides and the edges of the iPod with the polish, wiping off the excess, then doing it as many times as needed to remove the major scuffs and scratches. After that, you can use the maintenance polish regularly to shine it up.

And for God's sake, folks, once you get it clean, put a protective case or skin around your iPod. That's the best advice anybody can give you.
2 removes scratches but at a heafty price
i bought this product for my U2 ipod, which seems to be very easy to scratch. you get three cleaners with it, a maintenence polish, a scatch remover, and a metal polish/deep scratch remover. the metal polish/deep scratch remover is the only of the three that actually does anything. it does nothing for the metal and it will probably look worse when youre done. as for the plastic, it did remove some of the scratches, but some of it got stuck inbetween the click wheel and the frame. now the click wheel works about 40% as well as it did before, and thats after i cleared out what polish i could. my advice is to just buy a case when you first get your ipod and avoid scratches all together, and if you have scratches, just live with them.
