Hi

My screen is extremely scratched.
Does any of you have tried Polywatch that is used to restore minreal glass from vintage watches on their OSTC ?

Thanks

Have you checked that there is no screen protector attached to the glas? Sometimes it is hard to see, look at the outer edges of the screen for a jump in "screen hight".

Before trying "Polywatch" (which normally do not work so much w/ mineral glass ; only on plastic), you can test w/ toothpaste (the lowest price is the best one !) or what we call in France "Miror" (for silver or copper) ; or "pierre d'argent" (this is a paste).

Something to know : if you feel clearly scratches w/ your nail, no one product will solve your issue ; only small ones can be removed.

Hi,

I doubt that you can remove the scratches properly from the glass. I think you should leave it as it is rather than trying to polish it with questionable means. A protective film may even help to fill these scratches. This will make them barely visible (Same refractive index then the glass).
