Probably with a whole lot of TLC and elbow grease.

Maybe it's sacrilege to suggest this, but I've found that Crest (or the original Colgate) works better than Polywatch. It's got a higher viscosity and seems to have more grit.

Yes it works great on my teeth!!!!!!!!!! Go buy some headlight polish or a finishing polish for automobile paint. I use both but lately I've been using the headlight polish and found it is a good starter. normally, this is all you need. You can also use swirl and scratch remover which seems to work very well also. When done, put up the polish and go brush your teeth.....with the toothpaste!! Good luck and talk to you soon.

Plexi or plastic polish is found all over the place. Meguiars is popular brand..

I use a gold cloth, slightly damp wrapped over a small steel rule and be gentle. The jewellers rouge is just enough...
Careful not to catch the bezel. Nice nice watch. |

I use chrome polish and it works beautifully, available at any petrol station or hard ware store, one tube will last you a lifetime!

Any good automotive clear coat polish will do the trick.
Use a VIVA paper towel. |

Chaps
If you have a watch worth thousands, why worry about ordering a small tube of Polywatch. I scratched my plexi earlier in the year and the Polywatch restored it to as new within a minute. Regards Mick |

thanks for the compliments everyone. the lume is a bit more yellow than in the first pic but i am in love with it. i sold a 16750 i had to a TRF member 2 years ago and immediately regretted it. i have spent about a year trying to find one that was nice enough and reasonably priced (that wasnt easy, prices on these have gone bonkers).
