Fixing Glass
I know this is kinda off topic, but does that stuff that is advertised to fix really scratched glasses work on scratched quartz? What else does it work on? I have a watch or two thats sqratched and needs a polish

Re: Fixing Glass
Most of them do a decent Job Jake. I have also used tooth paste to polish up a lens or two. Jsut take a little tooth paste like regular colgate or crest and a small cotton cloth and dampin it . Then just rub it on the glass in a circle motion for a bit. Next just take a dry part of the cloth and polish up the glass and it should be a little better. Some of the newer products have polimers in them that actually fill the scratch too. This gives the illusion of a completely polished piece but it does look good. Dont try this on plexi or it will just cloud up. You need a special compound for plexi and a high speed buff on it. Good luck.

I have had good luck repairing a scrathed watch face with Brasso. Just wipe it on with a paper towel let dry a little and wipe it off. Repeat as needed.

Figures. I think the last place I saw some advertised was the Automotive store. Meglo Mart probably has it though.

Re: Fixing Glass
Just a standard metal cleaner. Most people who have been in the military have used it for their brass, buckles, pins, etc. Comes in a can. Is a milky liquid. Wipe on let dry a little and wipe off. I was skeptical until I tried it on a badly scratched watch face. It worked well.
