Polywatch! Many sources, but a quick and easy one is Amazon.com

White Crest toothpaste, pretty easy to find.

Yes, Crest works great. Make sure and take off or cover your bezel/insert so you don't scratch it when your polishing your Crystal.

I've used plastic headlight cover cleaner, works very well.

Polywatch or headlight cleaner works well

Try toothpaste first.

It's always worked for me.

On my Speedmaster, I always use a Cape Cod cloth. I lightly buff the crystal with the wet cloth for about 45 sec to 1 min, let the solution dry, and then buff it off with a clean cloth. Then I usually wash the watch with hand soap and water just to get the solvent off.

I do this once or twice a year, and only because I have Cape Cod around the house. I don't know if Cape Cod is more or less abrasive than Polywatch, but it works great. I find Brasso and toothpaste to be too coarse... they always leave swirl marks for me.
