That's what happened to me, I added too much polish used a toothpick to remove the excess. Good tutorial it cleaned up all the small scratches. Scrapes requires a NEW phone.

As for the muted speaker, I bet you have extra polish in the clogging the speaker. Clean it out with a toothpick.

Sorry, not scrapes, scratches. Gotta love auto correct. I used fire shine.

Won't remove scrapes as that is physical damage. This method removes surface scratches and polishes the finish. What polish did you use?
