Any advice on how to fix deep Switch screen scratches?

[Blythe93]

A few months ago, I've purchased my first used Nintendo Switch and, sadly, it came with some deep scratches, as shown in the attached image. As the title says, have any of you managed to fix a similar issue? I've seen that some people fixed their scratches with some paint or acrylic car polish compounds and similar. It's just touch screen that's damaged, screen's perfectly fine. And, nope, no issues with the touch screen input when going over that scratch.

touch screen part costs fairly low since they are plastic not glass.

Why not get a replacement instead? Digitizers aren't expensive they usually go for $20. You can find cheaper in Aliexpress.

I've never taken apart Switch so I'm not sure whether I'm up to the task. Also, I'm not sure are those third party digitizers better or worse than official Nintendo ones?

You can lookup iFixit to judge that for yourself. They have the guides and tools and parts to sell you. What they usually sell is pretty near the original.

Pretty much nomatter what. The only method to fix this would require taking it apart.
