Sandpaper
It is best to use the least abrasive type. It is best to rub off scratches from the phone's casing rather than the actual screen on the phone.
Baby powder or Talcum powder
Both are essentially the same because they are both talc-based products. The difference lies in their respective constituent ingredients, which can be found at any pharmacy store and make suitable alternatives to baking soda.
Technical talc
This is typically used as a coating, but it can also be used to hide scratches on your phone screen. It's preferable to use this on the screen protector instead of directly applying it to your phone.
Vegetable oil
This is not a permanent solution for scratches. It is best for very minor scratches that can be easily hidden. Put some oil on a cotton swab or lint-free cloth, and rub gently over the scratch. Wipe off any excess oil with a dry cloth.
Displex paste
You can find other options, such as the combination of egg white and aluminum sulfate, but it requires time-consuming steps. It is best to use readily available substances on phones. Some scratch removal lotions are not safe for phone screens because they are made differently from car windows.
