So I've managed to put some decent scratches on the plexi crystal of my 16750 only a week after getting it back from service

What is the popular polish called for getting these scratches out, and as importantly, where can I buy it in the UK?

Thanks

Polywatch is probably the best, although I use Duraglit Brasso Wadding.
You can get Polywatch on eBay for about 5 quid including P&P.

X 2 Polywatch works magic. Sorry to hear about the scratches. Good luck.

polywatch - that's it. I'm not actually all that fussed about the scratches - they're inevitable since it's a wearer. I do my best to keep them at bay though.
thanks guys

Someone posted a link to some tests that show Polywatch dissolving/discoloring some plastics. I use Simichrome polish and Displex polish, neither of which will attack anything. Both are very fine (in both senses of the word) polishes and I'd recommend them over Polywatch.

Thanks but too late - I've ordered a tube of polywatch from the link above (no not the slobbering pooch).

Polywatch comes recommended highly enough for my standards...

I'll make sure I don't leave it soak or anything.

Buy Crystal-Kleer from Cas-Ker - 1-800-487-0408.

I use this professionally and it yields the best result.
