Apple watch with scratches and with scratches removed by Red Wolf Technology's polisher.

The polishing system can save consumers money and resources by reducing the need to replace the screen or upgrade the device and can also help boost resale value, contributing to the circular economy.

A polishing system that removes the majority of nicks and scratches from Apple Watches can now support all models. 

Red Wolf Technology’s Primo Polishing System can now polish even the newest Apple Watch models, removing 99% of the most common nicks and scratches in under three minutes, a press release noted.

“Apple Watch scratch removal is another industry-first from our Primo Polishing system, bringing glass restoration and scratch removal to the mass market,” Brad Bacigalupi, CEO and founder, said in the press release. “Apple Watch sales have eclipsed iPad and Mac sales and are the fastest growing category in the mobile space. We are thrilled by the enthusiasm and support of our many worldwide partners in the repair and refurbishment industry to capture this massive market opportunity.” 

The polishing system can save consumers money and resources by reducing the need to replace the screen or upgrade the device and can also help boost resale value, contributing to the circular economy.
