Does putting a platic film over the screen hide blemishes?

Question

I recently scratched the screen with the plastic stand (somehow). I was wondering if a plastic film would hide the scratch or would it make it even worse (airbubble?). The scratch is only visible in high light conditions (ex under a fluresent lamp) and could not be felt.

Unfortunately if you have scratched your iPod there is not much you can do about it.
There have been a few suggested solutions but all have pretty bad sideeffects:
*Glass Polish* Has been suggested but would only be benificial if done by a PROFESSIONAL glass polisher and finding one of those willing to work on an iPod would prove to be a challenge. And if you did manage to find one glass polish, while possibly hiding the scratch would make you lose touch sensitivite in the area of the ipod it was applied because it forms a film between your finger and the glass.
*Eyeglass Scratch Remover* has also been suggested. But that also has not been tested, would also result in lost touch sensitivity, and has the possibility of leaving a white residue in the scratch rather than filling it.
SO, depending on how bad your scratch is the best bet is to just live with it. At least the iPod is still functional. If you can find a good screen cover and properly apply it this may be your best bet.
-PS- When I say these solutions have been "sugested" It doesnt mean they have been suggested by APPLE, these are just solutions I have seen mentiond on the forums and have thus far seen none that remove the scratch well enough to be considerd a perfect solution to a scratched iPod. Using any of these methods is at your own risk.
