to polish - Cape Cod Cloth

To Clean - Baby Shampoo and a little rubbing alcohol, try with a Googalie cloth (http://www.googalies.com/)

Agree and thats all you need water perhaps a little bit of washing up liquid.And any lint free type cotton cloth to dry it.The Rolex one has no magical properties its just a bit of cloth.And yes you can get your Rolex wet,and doubt if you will scratch it by washing and wiping.Its made from one of the strongest materials known to man, Stainless Steel.
