Scratched Stainless Steel Watch 

+

I bought a very expensive stainless steel (Hi-polished) watch. Unfortunately I scratched it already. How can I polish the watch and hopefully remove the scratches? Maybe there's a product out there that might do the trick.

Thank you

I just purchased a TAG Heuer Kirium watch (Magnum) brushed stainless steel. I also scratched my watch (very minor) and was at a loss on what to do. I found that "Mothers MAG wheel polish" which is available at your local automotive store, did the trick. It did not damage the "brushed" finish and even have my watch a great shine. The scratches seem to vanish, but use gentle pressure and a good quality cotton cloth. When you are done polishing your watch, make sure to use a good jewelry cleaner to get off all of the residue left by the polish and use a toothbrush and use gentle pressure. This worked so well, that I just cleaned and polished my whole watch and removed ALL of the minor scratches and nicks! I never thought that it would work so well.
