plaifender Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Refinishing pad for larger surfaces, and a refinishing pen for the smaller stuff. Look on ebay. you can get a set for around 15 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingkaiser Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Plaifenders suggestion is ideal, however in a crunch an ink eraser works as well. Not a pencil eraser - ink/pen erasers tend to be grey, and are less pliable. You can find them at most stationary stores. Heres one example on amazon (only the grey end): http://www.amazon.com/Medium-Pencil-Non-Hazardous-Elastomer-Compound/dp/B001GXFKUA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=office-products&qid=1283948482&sr=1-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drulee Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 I find the 3M ScotchBrite pads work best, just make sure to go along with the current grain, brush in one direction, and it is best to secure the case and apply light pressure at first then progressively harder until you get the result you are looking for. Also make sure it is 3M, not cheap grocery store knock off pads (these are made of plastic fibres). Try both the Green and Maroon versions.

lanikai Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 IMHO.. the only drawback with the scotchbrite is the coarse lines it leaves.. I would recommend the fiberglass pen.. Offshore has them in his tools section.. it refinishes the metal like factory fresh.. I would psot pics but my old LP has gone to a better place and I had no back up files.. search the Doxa watch I refinished using the pen..

krpster Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Brings a tear to my eye +1 on the scotchbrite and the pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Go to your local Auto Parts store. Some of them have different levels of scotch bright pads...Course, Medium, Fine. The ones I use on Ti are grey in color (fine). I use the redish ones (Medium) for SS. If you have trouble finding some, PM me, I have a box of them. Happy to send you one. Or check out some of the watch supply places, they have several different finishing pads, pens & papers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
