My Ad told me Saturday they use Simple Green as their cleaner of choice for SS. I just tried it with warm water and it really cleaned well and fast. Anyone esle ever use this for SS watches? |

Simple Green is a great product. I use it on my bikes and it cleans and degreases without harshness or damage. I haven't used it on my watch but having read your post, I'll try it. Peace Mike |

May just be my imagination but the watch surfaces seem less prone to pick up smudges and especially the dust/dander that collects ove the day between the luds. Probably just my imagination. |

simple green is a concentrate. do you dilute it first as it seems a little strong by itself? |

I use my gas powered pressure washer to clean my watches. Works like a charm; then I wash my house and deck when I'm done. |

Stainless Steel is just what it says stainless.........but if you have a Breitling lump of SS its shiny .........a normal SS cleaner you use for your car bits is good for cleaning (if its got that dirty) leave on for five or so minutes then a quick buff with the Cape Cod and buff dry....... Simple Green is just as good does the same job......takes yer pick..

I know some people will say that I'm baybing my watches but I'd look at ingredients on the back of the bottle before slapping it on your watch. Chances are there's no harm, but slathering cleaning products near the AR coating, leather, and the seals/gaskets could result in unintended consequences. |

Huh, I'll keep that in mind Ian. Since it's what my AD, the largest in the SW US uses, I figured it would be ok. The one thing that concerns me now is the AR on the csystal. I'll make some inquiries |

Just use your imagination and common sense. I wouldn't tie-dye T-shirts while wearing my SS watch. Neither would I tie-dye clothing or dye Easter eggs in the kitchen sink. Peace Mike |
