Don't have any polywatch on hand and my speedy crystal was a mess when it arrived, so I got stuck into it with some toothpaste and a few cloths, microfiber didn't work well so I switched to Victoria's Secret knickers (unused) which were pure cotton, my thumbs are almost worn out at this point but I'm about 90% there, question I had is, does Polywatch work that much better than toothpaste, and is there a better type of cloth to be using? Also I found that really hard pressure with a lot of heat from the friction did the best job, is that typically the case?
Yes polywatch is better. 2. using toothpaste add some water, faster and better. 2. Heat can burn and distort crystal, caution.
This is just the heat my thumb and a pair of panties can create so probably 50C or so lol Good to know, thanks! I can't believe how well just the toothpaste did, some of them were really deep and you can still see the remnants of the scratch but they're almost completely gone.
Polywatch is much better than toothpaste. I used the toothpaster forever, I could of saved myself so much trouble if I had tried polywatch sooner.
the tubes are very small. but you only use a drop at a time until you done. You want to buff with a soft cloth. I used an old shirt, but if you prefer some panties I completely understand.
I use this stuff called Novus plastic polish, it works pretty well. Jeweler Rouge clothes work well for the cases.
I use autosol metal polish with microfiber cloth - much, much cheaper than polywatch and works just as well if not better.
I use cotton Q-tips to apply the Polywatch. I suppose they would work for toothpase as well. Also try buying a 4-way nail buffing bar at a beauty supply for $2-$3. You can start with the heavier grit, polish back to clear, then work up to the finer stuff. By the time you get to the finest grit, you'll have a clean, smooth crystal. Take care, gatorcpa
Just tried this stuff out It blows Polywatch away and was much cheaper My hesalite never looked so good. Well maybe when it was new in box...
You are working with an abrasive with the goal of removing a very fine layer from the bezel. I remove them whenever possible. The exception would be if you think damage will occur by popping it off.
I wonder how Plexus would work. Back in the day when I was a U.S. Navy helicopter pilot, Plexus worked wonders on our clear plastic and tinted plastic visors contained in our helmets.
Novus is the best you can get. I use the heavy scratch remover if necessary followed by the fine scratch remover. Truly a case where too much polish is a detriment. I use 2-1/2 cotton flannel gun cleaning patches. One with the heavy (if you need it), one with the fine, and one clean one at the end. Then I usually use the soap and water to make sure all is clean. There is no need to remove a bezel because you're only using a little bit. If you're confused on this, as in how much is "a little bit", I will be happy to take a picture. Tom
