I hadn't before; but I tried a few after your comment (Staedtler Mars Plastic, Pink Pearl, the Staedtler hard blue one). Unfortunately still no change.
If you want to go all-in, you can try Acetone. But I would be very careful with it...
Tried more hardcore household Clorox cleaning bleach and acetone in the form of nail polish remover. Dabbed a tiny bit on a Q-tip and scrubbed for several minutes each. Stains still look the exact same afterwards.
Have you tried hydrogen peroxide?
Yeah, but I used 3%. I think for cleaning, one might need something higher like a 20% solution. I don't have baking soda, but I've been told vinegar can also be used to clean ceramic surfaces.
Hmm, okay. I'll try some Zippo lighter fluid when I get home.
I second lighter fluid, I've used it for years to get sticky marks and general marks off stuff.
So I tried a few more methods since then. One, applied a cotton swab soaked with bleach to the affected area for half an hour. Two, made a paste with baking soda and water and scrubbed the area vigorously. And three, scrubbed the area with a Q-tip dipped in naphtha lighter fluid. Stains are still there.☹️
I've never used any of the polishing attachments on my Dremel before. My kit came with 403, 428, 414, and 429. Do you think for this kind of surface, 414 is probably the most suitable? And probably try with no polishing compound first? Naturally between the stains and destroying the finish on the watch, I'd prefer the former.?
Me either lol, but I’d use the softest attachment, dry, and very gently to test. I mean, it can’t hurt, right? Just a soft pad spinning at high RPM. Perhaps if you have another ceramic part in the house in an inconspicuous area to try it out on. It seems like you’ve expended every other option.
So I attempted to use the polishing attachment on the Dremel at the recommended speed of 6,000rpm, but with no polishing compound, since I have no idea how abrasive it would be on this type of ceramic. Didn't damage the watch as far as I can tell, but the stains are still there. Also the polishing attachment wears down very quickly!
Wow, those stains must be something else! At this point, I’d probably take it to a jeweler and see if they know something we don’t. Not sure how many ceramic items they come across but worth a shot and they’d be able to get a closer look with the monocle.

Stubborn Stain on Ceramic White Apple Watch - SOLVED
Dear all wonderful Apple Watch Owners, Wish to share an experience that is frustrating, annoying but at the same time enriching and satisfying!! On a usual Saturday morning, the wife was going through school work of the week with the kid and preparing for upcoming week stuffs. As my son turned...
Yeah, 22 hours since the newbie member OP posted and almost nine hours since the last post… and nothing. I’m calling troll like I did in their thread.
