Baryonic Matter Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 For those of you anal enough to want your watches, and metal bands, nice and shiny, what is your cleaner/polish/preservative of choice? I realise there are an endless list of things that could be used, but what do YOU prefer to use, if anything? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asf Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 for polished surfaces I use white jeweller's rouge and a dremel. if its a small area or im just lazy, I use cape cod polishing cloths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'm not advanced enough to have bought a dremel or polishing wheel yet. I use Cape Cod cloths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Cape Cod cloths. loading the rouge onto the dremel polishing bit can get messy. I wish I had the desk polishing wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 The last time I worked a polishing wheel was 17 or 18 years ago when I was but a lad I put a satin finish on my wedding ring, and then changed my mind a few weeks later and re-polished it.

HPoirot Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 It's a rep. Just buy another one! Jokes aside though, i live with all my scratches as it makes my watch look more used and personal. A brand new watch is just too shiny and artificial. Could also be because i'm too lazy to research on safe methods... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt say he was an 'office lad' though I have found different ways for different finishes of metal... for brushed such as a Rollie bracelet I use Scotchbrie, Grit paper and alloy wheel sealer... for polished I use Red or White rouge depending on quality and sometimes black... I have found car wax gives a nice finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastrmindalliance Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I use a kind of wax too. The stuff in my sig, which is actually a lube, gives brushed finishes an excellent shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteM Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Car wax? Really? Yes mate.... I was playing around with polishing some cases and bracelets a while back and grabbed things from under the sink and in the garage... I found a bottle of car wax I had and found it gave a really long lasting lustre on polished metals... whereas the wheel sealer was sweet on the satin... It was A1 Speed Wax Plus 3..... I bought it for the fact in was a non residual wax which didnt leave white on vinyl etc and was easy application easy wipe off... worked great on the motors... great beading and lasted 4-5 washes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
