What's the best way to clean a glossy dial?

Folks,

I have a few smudges on my Ploprof dial and I'm wondering what's the best way to clean the smudges on that mirror finish dial. Ideas?

I used a very high quality and soft eye glass cleaning cloth. Working in strokes out from the centre and between the hour markers. Worked great.

Mind you, i had to ruin two dials before I learned how carefully i had to approach the task.

Hope you have better luck. They're a [censored] eh?

I've tried that but still some marks in certain angles. Darn hard to make it shine without marks.

Yeh, one of the things I learned during my ploprof saga was to keep my grubby fingys off the darn dial!

The very best way to do it would be to remove the indices.

i actually use this first kit here

i found that microfiber cloth in this kit (and ive owned many from various places) to not leave a single scratch or smudge, even the solution in this kit is far superior to anything else ive ever used. these kits are inexpensive and ive cleaned many dirty grimmy gloss dials with them, when complete they were perfect, no prints or scratches in any light.

also keep in mind when handling the cloth that your finger grease is getting absorbed by the cloth by you handling it, so keep one end primarily as the business end. i also roll my cloths to a point for finer accuracy and more applied pressure. you have to wipe the grease clean across from where it is off the end of the dial to completely lift it away

great tip.

I had to use a new cloth but using a fine felt tip brush to apply the right amount of pressure on the cloth. My big fat fingers wouldn't do it right.

I just ordered one of these. Thanks for the tip
