grinder with 80grit paper? If that don't work, maybe a chisel.

Are we talking about the crystal? or the dial face?

If the crystal, just polish it ( toothpaste) if the dial face ( and i wonder how you got hairspray or anything else there????) you can try using Polident ( denture cleaner) .... having of course removed the dial

Dial faces in general have a transparent varnish on them to fix text etc. (at least that is my experience). Don't use any detergent to clean or you will loose printing. Just use a mild soap or just water. If the 'dirt' is under the varnish forget about cleaning. Good luck. If you work on the dial put on watchmakers gloves so you won't make new stains.

I used Offshores advice about 6 months back to clean a dial, and it cleaned up perfectly. I was using Tescos economy denture cleaning tablets (30p for 30!) and within 5 minutes, the dial was a thousand times better. I've heard Rodico is quite good, you can get it at clockspares.net for about £2.50.

If it's the watch case / glass, have you tried WD40? WD40 is the answer to the world's problems.

If he's got hair then he won't have any Polident, as he should have all his own teeth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...or you could get someone else to do it for you.
