I variously use either a q-tip or a piece of felt cloth. Put a little dab or two on the crystal and polish until its dry. Repeat as needed. Wipe off when through. It takes 2 to 5 minutes for the casual desk diving scratches and the crystal looks new when finished.

I do not recommend the use of q-tips or any other cotton swab (or ball). Cotton is abrasive. It is used in furniture refinishing. If your goal is to polish something to a clear shine, stick with cotton cloth or microfiber. Raw cotton will never get you a polished finish because it will leave micro-scratches.

 

I use a soft, thick cotton cloth and I mask off the bezel with masking tape. A dab of Polywatch on the crystal and polish - don't be afraid to apply some pressure. I polish in circles and turn the watch often so I don't over-polish one spot or side. Once you've polished for a bit the Polywatch will disappear into your polishing cloth. Find a new clean spot on your cloth, add some more Polywatch to the crystal and go at it again (and again) until you have a clear crystal. Finish off with a clean part of your cotton cloth to wipe away any remaining traces of Polywatch.

 

I agree, this is the method I use on both my reduced and pro and the Polywatch works miracles, Love the hesalite!

 

Great info - thanks!

 

I use a clean tshirts, and go in circles. Then wipe off. That's it.

 

I do the simple copperjohn approach as well. Never had an issue. I do take care not to "polish" the bevel. Not sure if it could do harm, but rather safe than sorry

I use a t-shirt also, Found another use of Polywatch. Had a little scratch in the wood trim in my car. 2 minutes of Polywatch did wonders.

 

Microfiber will scratch polished SS FWIW. --Swirls Swirls Swirls

 

That's hard to believe, given that it is used to clean plastic eyeglass lenses ... and is provided by Omega and Rolex to keep one's watch clean and shiny. My guess it that whatever you used with the microfiber cloth was the culprit, or the cloth had been impregnated with scratchy material (they need to be washed periodically).
