@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@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...
@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.
Wow, finally someone has the courage to do this.❤

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.
Any good advice for lens protector now ? Something flexible maybe ?

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.
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 think on the quest 3 the lenses are made of glass
@@TimmyTimmy_69 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.
Thank you it work !! ❤
Appreciate🎉
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
Why did you use glass polish? And not plastic? A lot people say this doesn't work.

@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

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
