The industry-standard acrylic polishing compound in a bench-ready standalone tube. Designed for professional watchmakers, vintage collectors, and repair technicians, this 5g tube of PolyWatch® Plastic Polish provides a rapid, reliable solution for restoring optical clarity to scratched acrylic watch crystals. Utilizing advanced plastic deformation technology, this specialized German-engineered paste permanently levels and erases surface abrasions without the need to replace the original crystal.
CRITICAL WARNING: This abrasive compound is engineered exclusively for uncoated plastic, polycarbonate, and acrylic (Hesalite) watch crystals. Do NOT use on Mineral Glass or Sapphire Crystals. For high-hardness materials, please utilize the PolyWatch Glass Polish system.
How "Plastic Deformation" Works
Unlike standard abrasive pastes that simply grind away top layers of material, PolyWatch utilizes a specialized chemical and mechanical process:
-
Step 1: The paste's mild solvent chemically softens the clear lacquer surface of the acrylic crystal.
-
Step 2: Mechanical friction (applied via a cotton cloth or polishing pad) allows the micro-abrasive particles to reposition the softened plastic.
-
Step 3: The displaced plastic fills in the "valleys" of the scratch, curing into a perfectly smooth, distortion-free, high-gloss finish.
Technical Advantages
-
High-Yield Consumable: A single 5g tube is highly concentrated, providing enough polishing compound for approximately 10 to 12 complete crystal restorations.
-
Preserves OEM Originality: Allows bench jewelers to restore heavily worn vintage watches (such as vintage chronographs or dive watches) while maintaining the monetary value of the original factory crystal.
-
Rapid Bench Application: Turns a costly and time-consuming crystal replacement into a simple 2-to-3 minute buffing process right at the workbench.
-
Cost-Effective Refill: Ideal for high-volume repair shops or collectors who already own microfiber cloths and simply need to replenish their polishing compound.

Wish I would have done it sooner. Should have taken before pics. But I used it on my Moonswatch that is my everyday watch it was really badly scratched. I used my Dewalt and a dremel pad attachment and the polywatch cream and it was perfect. No scratches at all anymore.
Easy to use. Removed scuffs easily.
I had a watch necklace for years that I could no longer see since the crystal had become cloudy due to scratching. I had hoped that this would work and I could wear my watch again. It took only a moment and some light buffing to remove the scratches and make it usable again. I do have to say that the scratches were surface level and not deep, but it worked. It was a tiny bit expensive, but well worth the money.
Does a great job polishing clear watch face covers if acrylic or plastic removing minor scratches. If scratches are deep you will have to sand them down using progressively finer grits and ending with this compound.Took off a star because it is disgraceful to sell such small tubes of paste for so high a price. I will be finding other substitutes. I don't like being robbed of value due to a brand name. How dare they charge so much for such a microscopic sized tube!!!For glass scratches, you need a powder called Cerium Oxide. Polishes glass, mirrors, removes scratches. Not this product, which is for softer plastics and tiny pieces. Save this for watches only. Cheaper products for larger plastics.
I tried 5 different polishing compounds till I tried this. Took my Speedy Reduced crystal from lousy to almost new. Don't need to buy a new crystal now. I only used it for 4 minutes and maybe if I did 10 or 15 minutes, it would take out more of the deep scratch, but it's good enough for me.
Works like a charm. Note that this product is best used for final polishing - not for getting rid of big or deep scratches. Watch some YouTube vids and you'll see you can have (and I have had) great success on vintage acrylic crystals by first starting with 1500 or so grit sandpaper (yes, sandpaper! but use it gently and sparingly), moving up to 2500. You can then use a dermal with Flitz of Polywatch, but I like to use Flitz, and then use Polywatch by hand with a microfiber cloth. See before and after pics (after pic has the pinkish finger cots on the hand).
