Xbox One Gloss Scratches So Easily!

I have to ask because this is eating me away does anyone have the same issue? I have recently got the xbox one day one edition and it was beautiful I have had it for a couple of weeks now an I noticed the dust was gettin bad so I decided to be gentle and
give it a wipe with a soft micro fibre cloth only to find it left tons of hairline scratches on it I'm gutted u can only see them in direct light but it's not the point I can't believe it I look after my stuff and try keep it in good condition and just from
cleaning it has scratched is this normal with this material? was it going to happen at some point? Is it a defect? I can't just leave dust to grow on a £430 console so it's either scratch your console or let dust damage it I'm not very happy Microsoft, anyone
else have this problem should I let it bother me? Any advice would be appreciated thanks.

Why the gloss black finish?

It's awesome until you touch it. Forget about cleaning it with a paper towel unless you want a ton of surface scratches. I figured this was one of the many reasons they got rid of the gloss black 360 Slims when it first came out. Maybe MS has come out
with a gloss finish that doesn't show finger prints and scratches easily.

Clean it with a lint free cloth, that won't scratch and you're good to go. The black gloss finish isn't one of my complaints.

 

There are several reports of consoles coming scratched from the retailer already, might be it already was but you didnt notice until now?

 

I have not had Scratch on mine since I had it

 

I had some minor ones out of the box yes but they didn't bother me but cleaning it and now it's scratched does have a look In the light at your console and if you have wiped it you will have some sort of hairline scratches on it.

 

I would guess that it's one of those Day 1 flaws that wasn't picked up during testing. If it becomes a noticed issue then they'll probably alter the way they cover it in the future but on the basis that it has no real effect on the console, I can't imagine
anyone is going to care enough to offer you any real help or advice.

There's a few different types of micro fibre cloths. The ones I use for my car are quite thick and quilted whereas the ones that came with my TV and iMac are very thin and almost velvety to touch. I don't know what kind of cloth exactly you used, but try
the opposite.

 

The problem is your dusting the wrong way. I dust my entire house with this....

I'm sure anyone who has wiped their console with a cloth has put tiny scratches on it. They just haven't noticed or don't care. You have to almost look for the scratches to even see them. Same thing for CD/DVD/game discs. You wipe them to get dust off
and create tiny scratches that are only visible when the light hits it just right. My solution is just not to look for the scratches because I know it will upset me.

 

Have you cleaned yours and noticed this? I'm glad to see I'm not the only one out there who cares too much haha and btw billy your post has made me feel a lot better I was actually gonna try and swap it but I'm guessing no matter what they are all goin
to scratch on the gloss but? great solution

 

Glossy consoles normally tend to have this issue although my PS3 60GB, Xbox 360 Slim, Wii and Wii U don't really outshine the glossiness thankfully.

My Wii U has quite a scratch but it's on the rear so it's never noticeable.

 

No scratches on mine yet, and I use the same micro fibre cloth I do on the PS4, and that is scratched like crazy!!

 

Demon, You are not alone. My wife noticed the dust and took the vacuum hose to the top. The damn bristles left surface scratches that have made me ill with grief. I almost stopped her right before she did it. You really can't see these without bright light
on it but there are many. Like a toothbrush was brushing it haha. I'm sick over it. But you know what, I know this Is just my first X1 console I'll be better prepared with my next Xbox one hopefully when they are much cheaper and you know what else. Everyone's
console will look like this in about a year I'm certain of it.
