I Thought I Scuffed Up My Fiddy Crystal, Toothpaste saved me

[bmedude]

I was feeling a bit bummed out all day because I thought I scratched my sapphire crystal on my DSN Fiddy. After trying multiple times to buff it out in the office with a microfiber cloth and some soapy water, I gave up all hope.

My girlfriend who just happens to be a chemist suggested that I try some toothpaste and buff it. I didn't have much hope because I knew that sapphire isn't forgiving at all when it comes to a scratch. Lo and behold, what I thought was a scratch came right out! I used arm and hammer "pearl drops" tooth paste in case you were curious.

Long story short... if you think you scuffed up your crystal, give tooth paste a try before you give up

My uncle who's a jeweller used toothpaste to buff off silver jewellery that has oxidised to bring it back to life. I've tried it and it works. Great tip on buffing crystal too.

Toothpastes are a very weak abrasive, some more so than others. Now your watch is minty fresh too!

I always use toothpaste to clean my watches and Jewelry! If it could make your teeth shiny, it does wonder to metals, too!

great, will try that on one of my watches. Made a small scratch on it last week which has been bugging me.

will the ar be removed using toothpaste? I have a narikka planet ocean that has a nick. I think this has an AR on the crystal
