Cleaning the acrylic crystals on Rolex watches. It works surprisingly well. :)



I had scratched my hand-me down watch from my Dad up a good bit and did some research and found the crystal was actually made from acrylic. Figured I would try some plastic polishes and broke out a Wayne's ultraplush and rubbed it in carefully at first on an inconspicuous spot. When it worked well I did the whole dial.



No decision yet on whether to try Z-2 Pro to seal it or not. :waxing:

I have a vintage Rolex (one of the original submariners) with the acrylic crystal and polish it out with Meguiars NXT Metal Polysh and a MF. Works like a champ. The clarity is amazing and it removes hairline scratches as well as any scuffs or haze.



I polish the stainless case and oyster style band with P21s polishing soap and the supplied sponge.
 
I tried the P21S polishing soap and it worked great. Thanks Seth.



I bet this works well on all sorts of stainless steel watches.
 
Be careful Lee! If you have brushed stainless steel, you'll remove it and make it look shiney.



I have a Tag Huer chronograph that has shiney stainless links followed by brushed stainless links that makes a nice pattern in the bracelet.



I tried the soap on a spare link (luckily) and it removed that matte, brushed stainless coating to reveal a shiney link.



I have used that soap on nearly everything metal I own! for extra bite on solid brass, I use it with #0000 steel wool. I restored almost every original brass window lock (about 75 yrs old) around my home this way. They look great on the original stained wooden window sash.
 
I was pretty careful. I just polished the inside links which were dirty since they contact the skin. I'm sending it to Dallas for service soon in any event. I hear they recondition the watches wonderfully. :)
