hi, my watch plastic screen is totally scratched. are there any possibility to remove it by using AUTOSOL metal polish?

[ThePolishGuy1]

@seetoomhs Not sure, depends how deep the scratches are. One watch collector did tell me that he polishes plastic watch crystals by sanding them with 800 grit sand paper in one direstion. Then polishing with metal polish. I have not tried this, so I have no recommendations. But yes, metal polish is sometimes used.

safe for plastic lenses?

[ThePolishGuy1]

The Ford F150 light that is shown in the video was plastic.

I used Autosol Metal polish to remove water marks on my windscreen. Works wonders. But had to apply new coat of water repellant to the glass would not 'hold' too much water on it.
