--The pen says it is Isopropanol (67-63-0) <I have no idea what the=
 --numbers mean but they are listed right after Isopropanal>

Isopropan(o)l is a Carbon-Hydrogen-Oxygen fluid, an alcohol (not drinkable).=
 The #.s 'might' stand for C67-H63-O. The last one is an O as in Oxygen-=
 there cannot(?) be zero Oxygen atoms in the sctructure.
The Isopropanol very thoroughly cleans your jaggies (which I presume is a=
 synonym for scratches). It may also deposit a very clear residue in the=
 'grooves' when the alcohol evaporates which prevents dirt from easily=
 re-enter them. Eventually the residue will wear out and you'll have to use=
 the pen again. In other words, your jaggies does not disappear, they are=
 just not visible (for awhile).
