Finepics Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 Maybe someone did ask this already. In that case sorry. Is it possible to polish a brushed cg? If you have a dremel just use a stiff brush and polishing compound - would take me 5 minutes!!
spock Posted August 29, 2006 Author Report Posted August 29, 2006 thanks that's what i wanted to know.
DuDro Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 Maybe someone did ask this already. In that case sorry. Is it possible to polish a brushed cg? With some elbow grease and Cape Cod polishing cloth you should have good results, but it will take MUCH longer than 5-minutes...
supermanx Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 You can also google refinishing pen or check the bay EBay link A refinishing pen would be used to brush a polished cg, not what the op asked. If you dont have a dremel try a polishing compound and a soft cloth until all the brush marks are removed and then a cape cod. Will take a little while, maybe 20 minutes.
Highflyingclive Posted August 29, 2006 Report Posted August 29, 2006 With some elbow grease and Cape Cod polishing cloth you should have good results, but it will take MUCH longer than 5-minutes... Not if you have a Dremel, or similar. Mine is a Black & Decker clone.. I just polished a formally brushed J le C Kompressor case and bezel. I removed the movement and the three crowns, masked the crystal with parcel tape (probably not necessary, but better safe that sorry) then set to with the Cape Cod. About 25 minutes later, the job was done. Easy! My method was to cut a half-inch strip of the CC cloth, fold it like a concertina, make a hole through the centre of the wad, then mount it on an arbour. Making a hole through the centre of the wad was probably the hardest part of the operation. CC is surprisingly tough stuff. Running the clone Dremel at low speed worked wonders. The result... quite quickly achieved, was a perfectly polished case and bezel. It has transformed the watch.

It has transformed the watch. no dremel tool needed . just pick up a jar of mothers aluminum wheel cream polish & a terry cloth , it will chrome out any ss surface .
