Hi all

I have a SS Daytona. How do I clean it? Can you guys suggest a good quality cleaner?

Thanks

kilyung · 27 November 2013, 03:04 PM

Soap and water. I get fancy and use foaming hand soap from Bath&Bodyworks.

Mike I knew you spoiled your watches

Cheap & quick...a quick lick of the crystal, wipe with t-shirt good to go.

Al1969 · 27 November 2013, 03:25 PM

I use Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo and a small baby tooth brush. I guess my watches are literally 'babied'

Yep, shampoo and a toothbrush and wiped with a cotton cloth.

Laszlo · 27 November 2013, 04:18 PM

Dr. Bronner's works well too. I like the peppermint myself.

All any Rolex oyster needs is regular washing in plain soap and water and dry with any clean cotton type lint free cloth no need for any foo foo sprays.

crowncollection · 27 November 2013, 06:11 PM

I use liquid hand soap and warm water, nothing fancy with a soft toothbrush

I use scrubbing bubbles and a kids toothbrush.

watchnut73 · 27 November 2013, 11:03 PM

Just soap and cold water, dry off with kitchen paper towel, then soft micro cloth from my AD..comes up really well

Foo Foo sprays.. I love that...

:rofl

Mystro · 27 November 2013, 11:44 PM

Diluted dish soap in a pump by the sink works best for regular washing. It removes the oil and dirt between the links and the watch will look sparkling clean.

Although dish soap does work fine for a "Good quality cleaner" I use.

Veraet watch cleaning products. I use there spray, brush and cloths. All work great.

Exactly! And a little bit of TLC along with that

That is why I also put my foo foo spray back for sale

Highly recommend Verat spray.

You will never look back

x2 - world of difference from soap to Veraet IMO

mjclark32 · 28 November 2013, 03:09 AM

Take it in the shower, lather up some soap and give it a scrub with a soft toothbrush

This. Use the KISS method, double check crown and pushers are screwed in and just clean and dry it.

Careful with this method. JJ once dropped his on the tile and it was not a good result. Just sayin.

Cc1966 · 28 November 2013, 03:17 AM

Soft, old toothbrush and hand liquid soap...Veraet does give it a better shine when used.

porschejeff · 30 November 2013, 09:31 AM

I use both liquid soap and a. soft toothbrush and also Veraet. I don't think the Veraet does that much better than the soap personally

x3 for Veraet. If Veraet is foo foo and wrong I don't wanna be right...:)

Here's what the manufacturer recommends. Why try to re-invent the wheel?

Nidal · 30 November 2013, 02:58 PM

Put it in the dishwasher. The results are unmistakable. Chuckles

dennywags · 30 November 2013, 10:36 PM

I just hang it from the hood ornament of my Roll Royce and drive through the car wash.

The trick is remembering to grab it before you drive off.

But if you do forget its nice and dry when you get home.

iazrollie · 30 November 2013, 10:38 PM

I wear mine in the shower every once in awhile.
