PolyWatch 6417084129062 SS013059000 Plastic Watch Crystal Scratch Remover Polish Tool

I bought Polywatch to restore than appearance of my first watch, one of the first Casios, to preserve it as an antique. I received this product without the "enclosed cloth", contracted the seller and they made an adjustment. Polywatch works. It helps restore the appearance of a scratched plastic watch lens. But it doesn't "lsoften the coating. Watch lenses do not have lacquer coatings. Polywatch is a fine ABRASiVE that removes a small amount of the surface wherever you rub it. If you look at the surface it leaves, it is more finely scratched, more irregular than a new cast lens. You just can't perceive the scratches without a high power magnifier. That's what's important. I tried using it on 3 surfaces- an old Casio watch, a piece of acrylic window replacement glazing, and a small area of my car's factory paint finish (which is lacquer). All of these had fine scratching, all of them looked less scratched after rubbing Polywatch 100 strokes at right angles to the predominant scratch direction using a piece of microfiber bed sheeting over a sponge. The product had a familiar odor and texture. It appears to be similar to automotive polishing products. That's not surprising since they are both made for similar applications. So I compared the performance of them both to Polywatch using the same type of cloth and technique. Maguiar's Ultimate Compound removed the effect of deeper scratches faster, but left the surface less glossy. Maguiar's Ultimate Polish restored light scratches slower than Polywatch. If this was the only application I had for a polishing material, then I'd use Polywatch, and I;d recommend it for that use. But I also polish my vehicle, and a tiny tube of Polywatch is very expensive compared to 16 oz bottles of automotive products. I wouldn't recommend Polywatch to reduce the effect of scratches from a glass or sapphire surface. Ot isn't made for that. It's too soft an abrasive. Cerium oxide will do the same thing for a glass surface that Polywatch does for a plastic surface. Because glass is so much harder than plastic it will need 100x the amount of force or time or abrasive. For a high quality watch with a glass or sapphire lens, I'd rather pay to replace the lens than spend hours grinding off material and live with the wavy surface created by removing an area from a flat plane or smooth curve.

Works on acrylic crystals. Start with IKlear spray and remove with a cotton makeup removal pad and Q-tips. Then use PolyWatch with a fresh cotton pad. Repeat until the scratch is removed to your satisfaction. Finish the corners with Q-tips. Then finish with IKlear and fresh cotton pads/Q-tips to remove the residue. This removes most of the scratch. The deepest part of the scratch “wound” might still be visible, but just barely. After using PolyWatch, many scratches will disappear completely, others will barely be visible. I used AI (Google Gemini) to get tips on how to use this stuff. Anyone complaining about it probably didn’t bother to research how to use it properly.

I purchased a tube of PolyWatch (PW) to remove the scratches from 2 scratched up 4-5 year old Casio watch crystals. FYI, Before I used the PW I pre-sanded the crystals with a small piece of 3000 grit sandpaper. I have read that this would be helpful and I believe it was. Then I polished the crystals with PW. PW worked great on the first watch, but I ran out of PW before the second one was finished. PW comes in a very small plastic tube. The descriptions do not say how much PW product is in there, but they do give the weight as 0.01 pounds. I think that there is less than an ounce in there, perhaps much less. So I looked for an alternative to PW. After an hour or so of research online comparing user comments and pictures (where available), I picked up an 11 ounce bottle of Turtle Wax Scratch & Swirl Remover (TWS&SR, WalMart, $2.49). And I used that to finish the second Casio watch crystal. Wow. First, the TWS&SR looks and feels just like PW. Both are a white cream with the grit so fine that you can't feel it. And it worked just as well as PW at finishing up the second Casio. So I suggest that you try Turtle Wax Scratch & Swirl Remover. It worked great for me and at 11 ounces it is a lifetime supply for most of us, versus < ounce of PW per tube (enough to do ~ 2 watches if you re lucky). Hope that this is helpful for you.

Very good product, removed a substantial scrape from my new wristwatch face completely. Would have given 5 stars but not much product in the tube. Hoping I don’t need it again for a good while.

I used this product to restore a scratched and scuffed CGC graded comic case. I almost couldn’t believe how good it works, it’s like magic! The scratches and the scuffs are completely gone and the case is like new.

Does what it says, but the price is a little too high. Note: It only works on acrylic and resin screens.

This is great stuff. To be honest, I had second thoughts after reading some of the other reviews. But after using it, I'm convinced those people were using it wrong. I've got two Casio watches that had extremely scratched screens - PolyWatch completely transformed them. I will definitely buy this stuff again and would highly recommend it to anyone that has a watch with a beat up screen (plastic/acrylic crystals).

Locoedi para pulir el cuadro de la moto, que tenía el plástico del cristal ya algo rallado. Se ha quedado estupendo. Pulido de forma muy sencilla, con un trapo pequeño de limpiar las gafas. Tan solo me ha llevado un par de minutos. Volveré a darle una pasada, pero con la primera ya ha quedado estupendo. Y no gasta mucha pasta, solo un una cuantas gotas a lo largo de cuadro. Calidad a buen precio.

Managed to revive the crystal of a 50 years old heuer.Not effective for deep scratches though.
