The clear plastic faceplate of my wristwatch is badly scratched. How to remove the scratches / to polish it?

Posted by admin  Published in Plastic Polish


It is called a crystal. Use toothpaste and your thumb. Toothpaste has very fine abrasives in it and polish. If the scratches are not too deep you can get alot of them out.

if they are just surface scratches then buffing the faceplate with a clear furniture polish or Armor All will take the scratches out.

but if the scratches are deep then you will need to go to a jeweler and replace the faceplate.

You might also try polishing it with a tiny bit of toothpaste. There is a very mild abrasive in the paste and it might smooth the edges of the scratches enough.

Do it on clear acrylic windows. If it is really deep, replace the crystal. Watchmaker.
