vlydog Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Can anyone offer a review of their results using Polywatch plastic lens scratch remover? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Not used it yet, but have some on its way. Its reportedly good for watches with plastic crystals. I have used toothpaste in the paste for similar jobs. Don't use Brasso though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted February 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Yes Waiting for my order to arrive too. Trying it out on my Hesalite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmj Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Polywatch has always worked well with some good elbow grease. I have removed many scratches from my clumsiness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I just use a Cape Cod polishing cloth. It works perfectly. Scuffs and scratches .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Hi Vly Polywatch does work well. It is expensive for what it is though. And Brasso does work the same for much cheaper. The trick with both is to use the right amount, with the right amount of pressure, for the right amount of time (about a 1-2 minutes). If you go overboard, you will heat the crystal up too much and melt thru it. Same goes for Polywatch.

Nanuq Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I use Crest Extra-Whitening toothpaste. Smear some on the crystal, rub the hell out of it with your thumb, rinse, inspect. Repeat as necessary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueradish Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I agree with all the comments above. I use it on all my builds. As mentioned it does require a bit of elbow grease but the plexi's come out nice and clean when you're done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldegeneve Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Also try "Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish" In my experience it has worked much better than Brasso and toothpaste. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FROGMAN Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I've used it on rep and gen. Works well. Just did a quick polish on my gen speedy last weekend. Always a smooth clear result 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmg Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Yup works well B, but it is essentially white toothpaste. I use Crest Extra-Whitening toothpaste. Smear some on the crystal, rub the hell out of it with your thumb, rinse, inspect. Repeat as necessary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I actually think Polywatch is toothpaste and Brasso mixed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I started a new business overnight! Step right up folks, for a tube of Nanuq's Best Glacial Silt Crystal Polishing Compound!

French imported rouge? Pffffffft it's wanker paste. This is it, the ultimate, the finest anywhere. For only $59.99 I'll send you not one, but TWO ziplock baggies full of powdered and filtered Nanuq's Best Glacial Silt Crystal Polishing Compound, just add water for the finest effect possible.

droptopman Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Also try "Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish" In my experience it has worked much better than Brasso and toothpaste. Mothers works good on polished bracelets and cases too. Love that stuff been using it on car builds for years and polished out my gen sub bracelet with it as well.

aeromatic Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I have used car paint compound and autosol paste i had a very scratched crystal on my beater 5513 and used toothpaste and it was super fast at removing scratches ! i also used a car plastic lense renovator kit which removes scratches and yellowing of car headlights (plastic type) but dont use the protective laquer afterwards it can eat into your crystal if overdone !

panerai153 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I have some Novus that I had left from attempts to remove scratches from a motorcycle windscreen. It comes in three grades of abrasives. I use 2 for deep scratches then 1 for polishing. Works great at about 1/10 the cost of Polywatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
