LCD Monitor Scratch

Just bought a monitor off ebay to match my first and lo and behold:
It has this small, but prominent ~.75 cm scratch. It appears white with the screen powered off and it's noticeable to touch. So, pretty deep I imagine.
Rather than going through the hassle of sending it back, I'm going to be taking this opportunity to try out all the scratch-repair bullshit I can find. Some guy on youtube suggested I rub the scratch with cardboard for a while, and I also remember hearing that toothpaste is supposed to have some effect. Here's our progress so far:
When the light hits it just so, it looks like I removed some kind of anti-glare coating ...or just cleaned that one spot?
Next up: I'll be rubbing some petroleum jelly into it and observing the effect, following that, I've just ordered this polishing kit.
What are all y'all's favorite methods of scratch removal? Or just shit that you've heard works - let's put these to the test and watch what happens together.

Although I use mine on pinball machines and not on monitors. The uses page lists acrylic aquariums, airplane windows and some other similar deals.
*edit* Hah, after following your link I see you are onto the Novus product already.
First I spread some around the scratch:
