6. Polish for copper and silver

Polish for copper and silver is readily available at hardware stores, Walmart, or can be purchased through Amazon. Spray the polish onto the lenses and then wipe clean with a tissue, making sure to remove all of the residue. Note that you wouldn’t want to make a habit of using polish, as repeated use can damage the lenses’ anti-reflective coating and may not be effective on deeper scratches.

Make sure not to apply too much, as it could result in a thick lacquer that dries out before it can be evenly spread out over the surface.
