I know a lot of people use Polywatch to polish their OMEGA Hesalite crystal and was wondering if I could use it on my Ray Bans to polish out the micro scratches? Not the lens - the frame btw!

 

Why not. It's just an abrasive.

 

Not if the ray bans have any coating on them

 

There are better polishes than Polywatch for metal. I like Mother's Mag, available at auto stores. "There's no shine like Mother's!"

 

That slogan sound's so wrong!

 

Why not. It's just an abrasive.

 

there are better contraceptives than polywatch for metal ?

 

Tinted presciption lens's are actually coated with an optical dye, the mild scratches are on the dye tint.
Using any abrasive will just rip the dye off leaving you with a clear area and more scratches at the periphery.
Hardening coatings will also be removed .

 

if the scratch is noticeable on the frame then probably not enough polywatch in the world to remove it.

if it's a scuff then perhaps but they're completely different materials (hesalite/frame) so you may find it discolouring the frame.

or you could wear long socks with your sandals.

 

It quite the same but I've used pilywatch on my phone screen to remove minor hairline scratches.

 

The OP said frame, not lens.

 

Frames. Black acrylic frames. NOT lenses.

 

I tried Polywatch on my cellphone screen and it left a matted area, didn't get the scratch out, and the area I used it on seems to catch finger grease.

I would test it on an inside-facing area of the frame that can't be seen before going at it on a visible are. MTC.

 

Oooops, my bad !

 

Get ready to polish every inch of the frame. Most likely your efforts will not match the original finish.

 

I used it recently on a set of eyeglass frames - probably similar material to ray bans. It worked, but it took a while and any remotely deep scratches were hopeless. Note these frames were Tortoise shell so any change in finish wasn’t noticeable - unclear how it’d turn out with a solid color.

May be better off googling to find the best abrasive for the job.

 

Solved. Returned them got a different pair/model. Happy. Love Sunglass Hut!
