Hi,
What is the best general purpose watch cleaning solvent / liquid ? I cannot buy specific brands here. I need something that is widely available. Not soapy water that I then have to rinse off etc. I would like something ( a baby wipe ? ) that I can just go over the watch quickly with and it will bring up the steel and glass etc.

thanks

a nice micro-fiber towel works great and is easily found and it doesn't need to be wet...I keep one at my desk at home,in the car and the office.ThumbsUp02.gif

You mean like the one that was sitting in front of me that came with my reading glasses ?

I will leave now........

*so embarrassed*

I still like the idea of giving it an all over with something.

Lance.....Oh, thanks for the laugh...I needed that....toon1.gif

 

PS I've always used a "SOFT" tooth brush and gel type of tooth paste.  Takes only a couple of minutes if that....Has worked really well for me.

Try an eyeglasses cleaner. You can find it in liquid, spray, and wipes.

Hand sanitizer works also.

Veraet makes a decent one. It's a spray. They told me that if only a little is used, there is no need to wash it off. Otherwise, you can rinse it off if you bathe the watch in it.
No affiliation here, it's just a decent product.

Strange first post, I know! I just felt this might help.

I was going to mention Veraet as well. I got mine for free Thumbsup3.gif from a contest (well the first 100 got a free sample and didn't have to pay shipping.)happy guy.gif If I had to pay for it, its getting the royal treatment of a soft cloth as oscar said...maybe a few drops of water to get any "dirt" that may accumulate as well.
