- Polywatch Glass Polish actually removed the scratches from the lenses of my Quest 3.
There is a film or coating that covers the Quest 3 lenses, this has to be evenly polished off.
Make sure you press pretty hard and work your way around the entire lens, removing all the coating.
It took me about 10 minutes per lenses, cleaning and reapplying.
My husband just followed these instructions and it worked for him. He's been raving about it.
Can vouch. This kit will repair a nasty scratch. Ten minutes was generous, I took my time. 1hr of repair, I used most of the tube. Worth it! my Quest 3 is a pleasure to use again. Thanks for testing this man, you saved me a new headset,
Wow, finally someone has the courage to do this.❤
I was at the end of my rope with how bad mine was. Got it second hand from someone who wore glasses and had scuffed the lenses really bad. This stuff absolutely made a difference! It takes some work to really get them looking good, but it made mine look so much better! Anyone having issues with scratched lenses with their Q3 needs to look into this stuff. Likely won't work for Q2 cause the lenses are different though, just so people are aware. They have a different compound that does, though.
THANK YOU FOR TESTING THIS!!!!!!!! You have literally made my day! I bought my headset used and it of course had light scratches, my daughter who I let play it has resulted in some new scratches. I had read somewhere using the poly watch stuff had left an unwanted film. I will be doing this soon! Thank you again!!
If I'm understanding you, I need to use the two part poly watch for the bests results, correct? I have the single solution poly watch that I used to repair scratched lenses on my Quest 1 & 2 headsets.
@@bigbe3tsdrumming yes, use the two part Polywatch for Glass. I bought mine off Amazon. Make sure it's the same type as in the video with the thumbs up on the box.
@@bigbe3tsdrumming let me know how you make out. Make sure you use the Polywatch for Glass that has the 👍 on the box
Thanks for the tutorial! Just finished my Quest 3 lenses with Polywatch Glass after watching. Prior to using, I only had those micro scratches that made vision slightly blurry (annoying, but not awful)...now they are practically brand new. Purchased protective lenses (Zenni VR Antifoggers) so this doesn't happen again...
That's awesome, glad to hear that
Thanks a lot !
I just save m'y Q3 a this moment now lol
🤘
thank you very much. That tutorial worked very good and safed my quest 3!
I bought a headset used, got home and they were scratched. But you can tell it’s just a film over the actual glass. I was upset at first but got a reasonable deal. I’m going to give it a shot
Make sure you get the Polywatch for Glass, let me know how it turns out for you
@ absolutely, it just arrived today while I was at work
Im curious why you used glass polish when the lenses are plastic 🤔 glad it worked, but I’m wondering if it would work better with polywatch plastic
I had read a couple Reddit posts where people were having success with Polywatch Glass and not Plastic.
There is a thin coating on the Quest 3 lenses that is not on the Quest 2.
It is the coating that you have to polish off, the scratches are in the coating and not down to the lens.
My theory is that it's a UV coating, once it is polished off, the lenses look clearer than before.
I think on the quest 3 the lenses are made of glass
@@Jacobtimmons179 no there plastic Glass would be Really expensive
@chriscurry6995 Yeah, I used the polywatch plastic, and it screwed everything. I will have to get the glass one.
10:59 IMHO that whatever you did removed the blemish caused by the anti glare coating however it added thousands of micro scratches. Does it look perfectly fine when in use?
I think those scratches are to close to the eyes that it would not be noticeable.
@@xChodios I think a professional car detailer who knows how to fix up headlights can remove those micro scratches. I'm very interested to know how those look from within the headset. Lets wait for the uploader to reply 🙂
Just saw from the other comments, The micro scratches aren't that visible he said.
I would say that would introduce some halo effect but its still better than having a messed up anti glare coating.
@@johndextersantos9541 car detailing is part of my job and i wouldn't use these techniques on a Q3
why not? at one time i had someone worked on my headlights and they did it perfectly. There aren't even any micro scratches like its brand new.
I did exactly like the video after purchasing the polywatch 2 part kit .i saw the anti glare coat come off as i rubbed but now it's so scratched its worse than before. I went back a few times but it was no help.
@@garyholland9529 does it look hazey? If it does, you need to keep rubbing with the first step. If there are micro scratches, you have to keep rubbing with the second step. Keep at it just like in the video
@chriscurry6995 ok i will i don't have anything to loose I'm thanking about investing in another headset .
I used the remainder of the repair tube with a lot of rubbing and then finisher and it is looking a lot better.
@@garyholland9529 great, make a video too?
verdaderamente sirve, compre las meta quest 3 batatas por los rayajos en la lente, estos fuero seguramente provocados por su uso con gafas y ahora que lo acabo de reparar se ha quedado genial, lo único que gaste toda la jeringuilla de reparación en una sola lente, optimizar su uso y no poner a lo loco para que dure lo máximo posible, los que dicen que lo les funciona seguramente sea por que tienen arañazos muy profundos, por que con este método lo que se hace es quitar una capa que tienen las lentes que es donde se producen la mayoría de los arañados.
Tambien probé el Polywatch plastico, y este no sirbe para nada
Hola tengo un rayon chiquito en uno de los lentes, cual polywatch usaste para repararlo? Comentas que el plastico no entonces cual?
@@Owenbueno perdona la tardanza, yo utilicé los dos el de plastico y el de vidrio pero me funcionó el del video es decir el Polywatch Glass, el de plastico no me funciono
nov 19 attempted, worked absolutely flawlessly, had terrible scratches before, and after going back a few times to get missed shots its cristal clear. Clarity is better than factory
would 1000% recommend
That's awesome, I'm glad the video helped you. It's a great feeling when you see the scratches dissappear!
@@xChodios what you see in the video, is what i achieved, no less and my damage was worse
@@xChodiosyou misunderstood my message
@xChodios you can't see the micro scratches when you look through the lenses, they are way too small.
@xChodios well, my Quest 3 lenses were so scratched that I was going to throw them in the garbage. Instead I tried to remove the scratches and I can now use my Quest 3 again.
You are awesome 👏
Whats an alternative to polywatch. I cant find this product where I am. Only car polish and headlight polish kits
I got it from Amazon, I don't know of any alternative to Polywatch Glass
any noticable difference without the coating on?
The surface looks better than new, the coating looks slightly hazey. Even when new
Thank you it work !! ❤
Any good advice for lens protector now ? Something flexible maybe ?
I purchased prescription lenses from Zenni optical, they work great. Zenni also sell non prescription lens covers as well
In the event that this doesn’t work, do you think I’d still be able to get them repaired or replaced via a third party repair service? (:
@Shea-z4t As far as I know, there is no other fix for Quest 3 lenses. I don't think replacement is available.
I'm surprised that you're letting the sunlight hit the lenses if you're tring to fix it. Did the screen underneath get burned at all?
No burning, the sun was almost setting, I am in North Eastern Canada, it's fall here and the sun is pretty low in the sky, I think you would have to be outdoors in direct sunlight to damage the lenses.
@chriscurry6995 I live in a place where I would be afraid to risk it under those conditions still
@@BlueCollarDev yea the sun can be way more harsh closer to the equator
@@BlueCollarDev why are you playing outside?
@@bluetonight17 I don't use my headset outside
Does this affect the anti reflective coating? Is the image like factory?
I believe it is a UV coating, the UV coating has to be removed to get rid of the scratches. The image is perfect and has no visible scratches when you are using it.
@@chriscurry6995 It is in fact an antiglare protection that should help with contrast and clarity.
Im wondering aswell if it degrades the expirence.
@R2ze_ from my experience, and from the comments of others, the lenses and experience looks better than before the polishing. The original coating on my lenses had a slight haze in addition to the scratches.
Appreciate🎉
Why did you use glass polish? And not plastic? A lot people say this doesn't work.
I had read on a couple Reddit posts that people were having success with the Polywatch Glass Polish and not the Plastic polish.
My theory on the Quest 3 lenses is that they have a coating on them that the Quest 2 doesn't. It is the coating that is getting scratched and not the lens underneath.
When you start rubbing the lens with the repair compound the lens feels sticky, as the coating is removed the lenses feel smoother and have a more polished look and the lenses look clearer than ever before.
I think it must be a UV coating as Meta has multiple warnings about leaving the lenses in the sunlight.
It can't be an anti-fog or scratch coating as the lenses fog up so easy.
@chriscurry6995 thanks for the reply. I have a lot of scratches but not enough to be worth fixing but thanks for the video
Do not use Polywatch polish on plastics! I did this and the scratches on the lens got significantly worse
@marestictwelve You couldn't be more wrong, my lenses went from a scratched up mess to perfectly clear. You have to use Polywatch for Glass,to remove the coating on the lenses.
@marestictwelve you HAVE to use Polywatch Glass Polish in the syringes not Polywatch plastic in the tube. If you have Polywatch Glass just keep at it with the repair compound until the scratches are gone. It will work...
There are no scratches at all, the lenses look great.
does it 100% work bro i have some scratches and so sad it does not make any fun to use
@zfold-uc4nz it really works my lenses look fantastic, you have to spend around 10 minutes with the repair compound, making sure you evenly remove the thin coating that's on the lenses. After a couple minutes of rubbing you can feel the lenses getting smoother. If there is some of the film left, it looks like a silver haze. Just keep rubbing until that is gone, especially around the edges. My lenses were so scratched, I had nothing to lose.
But what the dog doin'?
