Nope, the stuff eats plastics and melts paint.

Always spray into your hand and then rub it on.

Too often I see people spraying it on like hair spray.

Preferably the back of your hand so that it doesn't melt everything that you touch.

I had damage to the screen on my portable handheld GPS from something sharp in my survival suit pocket. I took most of the scratches out with my Dremal polishing tool with compound cream. Be careful, go light. Just a thought.

Had the same thing happen to me. Couldnt figure out how to remove it.

Yes, Fish Farmer, I took some rubbing compound (the stuff sold to restore yellowed automobile headlights) and added a little elbow grease and it greatly reduced the spots. If I keep at it, I should be able to get most of it off. Like I said, thankfully no damage to the screen.

If the stuff to clean Yellowed headlights works, then just use white toothpaste (not gel) to clean it out. Cause it does a great job to headlights and it costs a fraction of the price.
