    • Put on Gloves. Using a polishing cloth, which is already soaked with polishing cream, rub one side of the watch back and forth.

    • Repeat on each side of the watch.

    • When using the polishing cloth, do NOT go directly over the microphone or the speaker.

    • If the polishing cloth begins to turn black while you are wiping, do not be alarmed. The blackness is just layers of dirt coming off the watch.
