Thank you :)
One additional thing I did this evening was to polish the transparent plastics with Maguiars PlastX plastic polish and they have come up great, lovely and clear and a lot of the scratches gone :)

OK, so
@HigashiJun asked to see what the polished screens look like when done, I've done my best to capture it, but it's difficult. Here we go...
First one is the Wonderswan Colour:

Next up is the repaired Wonderswan B&W that had the polariser replaced. It had quite a scratched plastic screen bezel, but it came up very nicely:

Lastly is the wonderswan that
@HigashiJun kindly picked me up in Japan:

It did have some light scratches, but also came up very well.
I used Maguiars PlastX plastic polish which is designed for car headlights and auther auto plastics, it did a great job.

The Colour could do with a bit more work, but the two originals have come up great. I need to be careful with it though as being the Final Fantasy special edition, I don't want to damage the plastic as I think it would be hard to replace.
