alifizan Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I really wanna get this off my chest and have it cleared up once and for all lol, I've been reading on here that people have polished there submariners or sea dwellers with this cloth, now when I polished my sub with it, the cloth completely removed the nice satin finish and left the whole watch with a perfect mirror finish and the brushed finish completely disappeared, it was just smooth mirror looking all over the watch, so what did I do wrong, did I polish it too much, well I managed to get the nice satin brushed look back after four hours of work on it with a fine satin pad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke1973 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I use the Cape Cod for polished surfaces ONLY, for the brushed surfaces I use a simple 3M brand green scratch pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 arrrhhhggg, keep cape cod away from brushed finishes, just for polished finishes only! The sub is mostly brushed, except for the sides of the watch case. You will need to rebrush, and you will need to rebrush in the right directions to restore original finish. Scotchbrite or brushing pads will do it jus fine, I prefer garryflex sanding blocks for rebrushings as you can decide the level of brushing, rough to fine.

alifizan Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Thanks for clearing that up guys, one of the other reasons I ask is because I'm just waiting for my new dssd from Trevor, and I was wondering what I could use on the brushed surfaces to make it brighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 As I recall, the Cape Cod container warns against using it on unpolished surfaces. You can replace the original brushed texture with 5444-A (click pic for the link) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erict719 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 I did my wm9 today. the cod is very great. My watch looks new. I lightly used it on my bracelet, But I just did it very light. and the brushed look is still Terence. But it looks a bit too shinny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 ive always used this to restore the brushed look and it has always worked for me each and every time. its great for removing scratches from the brushed finish as well http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Economy-Fiberglass-Scratch-Brush-Pen-Tool-4-mm-/400269218649?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d31e79359 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I re-brushed the bracelet of my dssd with scotch brite and afterwards it appeared to be darker than the case of the watch. I washed the watch in soap and water and the entire watch now matches in a brilliant white steel color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain swoop Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Cape Cod used carefuly on a vintage can give it that 'softened over time' look of a well worn and cared for watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smqsub Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 So guys, to remove the polished finish and leave a brushed finish what do you find best? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alifizan Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Best thing is order a satin refinishing pad, and you want the fine variety,I find that's the best, when messed up my watch I got a perfect satin brushed finish back by using that, remember don't rub too hard, and always in one direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
