Do Apple do cosmetic repairs for iPod?

Cost or no cost, I would like some scratches removed from my iPod. I have ordered Ice Creme M (which is meant to be amazing) and I'll see how that works.

I am using the 60GB iPod Video (black), and of course it's a magnet to scratches, which doesn't bother me so much, as long as I can view the screen.

Today, some annoying girl asked to see my iPod, but I had to go (I genuinely did, I had a train to catch), but she refused to let go of the iPod which was in my hand. I kept politely saying that I had to go, but she wouldn't let go, until about two minutes later. Now the iPod has three long scratches on the screen from her nails, which render it useless, pretty much. I am so annoyed about this, you don't just do that with a £300 music player, and there's nothing wrong with respecting someone else's property, which she didn't.

So do Apple do repairs? I might send her the bill.
 
There are plenty of people out the who will fix a broken iPod, but not many who offer affordable scratch removal.

But don't buy into the "Magical iPod scratch removal" kits out there. Just go down to the harware store and get some Silvo. It's a silver polish, but it works on both sides of the ipod (except deep scratches). Tested and true.

Another solution, slighty riskier though, is to go to the local used cd store. They usually have a buffing wheel somewhere in the shop to take off little scratches from cds. Smooth talk the clerk and see if they'll help. If it's for the sake of music, so you'll usually get some sympathy.
