Polishing / cleaning up a watch

Polishing / cleaning up a watch
As some know i got my speedy now, first thing i did was to clean up the bracelet in my ultrasonic cleaner.



Used some autosol plastic to cleaned up the hesalite crystal but somehow i couldnt get the hairline scratches out. So i googled and look for polywatch. There was one site that says swatch boutique carries polywatch so i tried asking when i was at plaza sing this evening.



Long story short, i smoked the girl to polish my speedy on the basis it belongs to swatch group. She was hesitant coz she never polished an omega before. I duno what got into me but i did it. The crystal is totally cleaned up. All for 5 smackeroos. Im pretty sure no where else can be cheaper liao.



Now enough of SIC. I wana ask if anybody knows where can i clean up the swirlies on my clasp? I tried scotch brite but like no effect. Anybody got some homebrew methods or guide me to a good finisher for clasp?

Re: Polishing / cleaning up a watch
Why polish the clasp ? After polished, you will still get scratches mah... Unless you plan to keep the bracelet untouched.. lol

I went to khateena to get this sponge thingy which ah goh intro to me. It brushed away the scratches but need to brush zhun zhun. Quite worth the $18 i spent.
Re: Polishing / cleaning up a watch
i use cape cod and the glass brush from khateena for the metal bits, seems to work... deeper scratches brush longer to get the brushed look back lor... acryllic I use toothpaste or car polish (polish, not wax).
