Anyone know how to remove (sand/polish) scratches off of a dive computer face?

On my scratched watch crystal, I have used a buffing wheel/tips on a Dremel tool with different jeweler's rouge.

If it is a plastic face there are plastic polish and scratch removers at the auto store.

I use a Micro Mesh Kit.

Old aviation trick for polishing windows.

Works great

Once you get the scratches out, get a screen protector so you don't have to mess with it again.

I'm sorry.. a micro-mesh kit?
I work on service station equipment and constantly asked to clean up graffiti and scratches on the pump display windows... I know not scuba related, but what is a mcro-mesh kit?

Flitz. Then, if you want it even better, plexiglass cleaner.

Flitz should make it more than pretty again, though.

What a great thread. I'm going to buy the micromesh kit. I have a car with cloudy headlight lens covers. If this kit works as advertised, it will save me a lot of money.

Just follow the instructions and it will work great. Takes a little patience to go through all the steps.
