I get really good results with a CC. Like Offshore says,It will remove AR,so be careful. Then again If you want to remove outer AR,say due to scratches,the cc works great. When it comes to brushed I use a Scotch brite pad. I had a pretty bad scratch on the clasp of my Omega SMPO. The SBP removed It In a few min. Just remember when using a SBP,go with the grain, In one direction. I also find It helps to have the pad slightly danp,eaiser to work with Imo. Between the CC and SBP I've been able to keep my watches looking really nice.:)Mike
