Another Acrylic + Toothpaste Success Story (Explorer 1016)

[dbhak22]

The "softness" of the acrylic crystals is no joke. Just walking around the house I occasionally rub the watch against the wall and get a scratch here and there. I got a fair sized one the other day so decided to try the toothpaste polishing method folks have recommended here before spending a few bucks on Polywatch. Polywatch is cheap but figured no harm in spending a few mins trying a solution I already had inside the house. Rubbed a bit of toothpaste on a cloth and rubbed it into the scratched area then took a wet cloth to wipe it off. As the title stated, success!

Before/after photo below. It was hard to properly capture the scratches so hope its visible...





And here's the toothpaste I used:



Hope this helps someone down the line.
