When I ordered some Displex from Amazon, the company that shipped it included 10 cotton applicators. While this was nice and thoughtful, and I believe these would be good for removing deep scratches, they were coarse enough to cover my screen with tiny scratches. Either that or the fibers from the edge of these (really small) applicators were falling off and getting under the cloth and scratching the screen. Anyway, since I was only trying to remove small scratches to begin with, this put my screen in worse shape than it was originally. The smaller scratches were not awful, but I wanted a scratch-free screen, so I have resorted to using a microfiber cloth (like the ones for sunglasses) to try to remove these tiny scratches.

The Displex product obviously works, however, as these tiny scratches have become less and less noticeable with each application using a microfiber cloth. At the time of this review, they are only visible in bright, direct light. I am planning one more application in a couple days to get rid of the last of these minor annoyances, and I am very confident that this will return my screen to a near-perfect condition.

I am mostly posting this review to warn you: If you plan on using Displex, use a VERY soft microfiber cloth or something similar. Displex dissolves particles from your screen and fills in scratches with those particles. Because of this, it is much easier to scratch the screen while trying to remove the Displex than when wiping off the screen normally. Just be careful, plan ahead, and if they include some 100% cotton applicators in your package, throw them away! Finally, since the PSP's screen is fairly large, you'll need to polish for more than 2-3 minutes.

My parents bought this for some reason and I never thought of using it for PSP, but now your review scared me.
