After my September 2007 wedding, I left with two treasures — a handsome and charming husband, and a pair of oversized Gucci sunglasses that some unnamed guest left behind at the reception. I asked around to try to return them to their rightful owner (and even looked through photos to see if I could spot someone wearing them) but the search was fruitless, and the fact of the matter was that the sunglasses suited me very nicely. Unfortunately, the sunglass-loser didn't have the good sense to also lose the coordinating case, and the glasses are so big (all the better to flatter my big head), that I haven't been able to find a proper case to fit them. All of this is to say, that after a year and three quarters of banging around loose in my purse, those fellas are pretty scratched up. And as beautiful sunglass-worthy weather is upon us (at least in New York, finally), something must be done.
Here is my quick-fix method for temporarily reducing the appearance of unsightly scratches on your sunglasses.![](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XxGW8E-RB1s/ShV2AoEvgvI/AAAAAAAAA-Y/x3cFkip_iIs/s200/145177_front200.jpg)
1. Make sure your lenses are plastic. This method won't work on scratched glass (sorry).
2. Fill a bowl with warm soapy water. Dip your glasses in the water and rub the lenses with your fingers (sometimes what you think is a scratch is actually just some kind of gook- like mascara or something). Rinse glasses and dry with a super-soft cloth (microfiber is best, but a really soft rag or t-shirt would be fine. No paper towels,
dummkopf!)
3. Spray

or
Endust![](http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=achwi-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00099XK54)
(yeah, you heard me right) on the insides and outsides of your lenses. Rub into the scratch. Wipe of excess with same soft cloth.
4. You should be able to see a little more clearly, now.
