Is Polywatch the BEST crystal polish?  

Non of these will take out deep scratches. 2000 grit sandpaper to take out stubborn scratches. Then 5000 grit. A polishing wheel with polishing compund to take the surface down to the bottom of the slight sanding scratches. Then I use a jewelers rouge cloth to buff. Then the Polywatch for crystal clear new finish.

Plastx is the best bang for the buck....Thanks for the video!

Nice job as usual keep up the great job

Great comparation. Very interesting

I agree with Walther, the Novus 3 step system gives great results.

Hey Mark. Another great video my friend. Love the comparrisons you did. I actually use maquires ultimate polish on my crystals and get great results. It's specifically designed to remove swirls marks from paint. However, I will agree with you that Polywatch does a great job and is a really great product. However, on a cost per oz basis it's a considerably higher priced product. Also depending on the condition of the crystal I get better results when using a buffing wheel on a low speed and finish off with a soft clean cotton buffing wheel. Just watch your speed and keep lost of polish on the crystal to prevent heat build up. For really deep scratches I use a combination of wet and dry emory paper starting at 1500 grit moving up to 5000 and use some water sprayed on with a misting nozzle.

Thanks for the demo. I use a 3M product that is designed for polishing cars. It has done a great job in the past on plastic. The PolyWatch must have a more aggressive abrasive in it. Of coarse you could always go with a finer sandpaper and take the 1500 scratches out making it easier to remove by hand. I use a wool polish wheel on a small bench grinder. BTW I am just starting on my journey down the watchmakers road. :)

I’ve been using Novus from a vintage car dash lens repair. It’s amazing if you do all three steps.

Great information thanks for sharing 😊👍

Polywatch seems pretty awesome, id love to see more testiing, and diff compounds on glass crystals too

Tthanks for doing this comparison. I have often wondered myself. As far as your process it might be god to look under microscope prior to polishing to get a reference point.

Thanks for doing this experiment! I am about to try polywatch *burp* for the first time 😁

I was wondering about this. Thank you for satisfying my curiosity!

Thank you for this test! Time to get me some PolyWatch 😎

Very good video and you’re very honest so thank you so much

I don't feel so stupid for buying the polywatch now... The other product that is sometimes recommended is toothpaste. It does work, but I don't know how well. Hmmmm ... minty....

Great video! I will definitely be picking up a tube - unless I get lucky!

Have you tried Flitz? Works well on plastic and metal.

I would use plastx as a first stage polish for deeper scratches and then poly watch to finish it.

Thanks for this great channel.

I have a watch with that cloudy look. I hope I get it like new again

Thanks. Useful vid 😊

Great video

Any suggestions for polishing glass crystals?

Thanks for comparing. I was wondering if you have tried toothpaste? Some people say it works similar to Polywatch.

I’ve been getting pretty good results with Sensodyne toothpaste. Not even kidding.

Given the small amount of polish needed, the high cost of polywatch isnt really a factor.

NIce video :)

LOL! Was that bloopers added to the end??🤪

I totally HATE the smell of Brasso. Had to use that stuff every day for two years in the mid-1970’s while I was a cadet in a military school. Ugh! 😂😂😂

I have use cut and polish on glass cooktop and it came up like new! Can I use this on a watch.? Any reply appreciated cheers from Australia ❤

Great video :)

This would work the same on mineral crystals and sapphire or is only limited to plastic or similar crystals

The trick with Brasso is to rub it onto the surface, let it sit for a few minutes, allowing the solvent to evaporate, then buff. Edit: Actually, I just learned Brasso changed its formula a number of years ago (last can I bought was probably 12 years ago, as a single can lasts so long), so perhaps the instructions have changed.

19 minute video needs to be edited down to 5-7 mins or less.

Not an accurate test, you have smooth fine scratches from the abrasive paper! Real life scratches criss cross and are deep something like tic tac do!
