Erict719 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 After spray on, do I need to wash it off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I usually coat the bracelet in the dry lube very liberally followed by a bath in hot soapy water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Once the delivery agent flash-evaporates, there should be a layer of Teflon left behind. Is it detergent-proof? I don't actually know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erict719 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Every time I oil the bracelet, the wash with soap water then the oil came all off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erict719 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Thanks bro. as suppose my bracelet doesn't have any noise after oiling. but! It does have the original "wet shine look" anymore . As bracelet come new from tc or gen, it has a layer on smooth shine , but after cleaning with soap or silver cleaning cloth, the layer is totally gone. I hate the dry look on the bracelet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtguk Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Get a micro fiber cloth and put a small amount of wd40 on it then rub the bracelet with it and buff with the cloth should leave it lubed 'and' with a shiny look too ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Should we spray telfon coating on then? The standard for a gen-feel bracelet is to use a high quality "dry bicycle chain lube" .. it is a liquid in a bottle Ok, here's what you do. Take the bracelet off of the watch. Place the bracelet into a plastic zip-top bag, and then squirt the dry lube all over the bracelet. You will be amazed how much dirty machine shop grit and black scum is dissolved by the lubricant, and comes out of the links. Now seal up the baggie, and work that bracelet with your fingers thru the sides of the bag. Give it a real workout. Now unzip the baggie, and take out the bracelet. Place it onto a clean cloth to dry. The lubricant is very volitile, and will evaporate quickly. Once you are satisfied that the bracelet is dry, buff it briskly with a microfiber cloth. What you have now, is a bracelet that's coated all over the entire inner mechanism with teflon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Are we not suppose to use silver polish cloth Cape Cod polishing cloths are abrasive. They are used to polish out light scratches. If you use a Cape Cod chemical polishing cloth on a brushed-finish bracelet, it will remove the brushed texture. You care for a brushed-finish watch bracelet with a green "3M" brand scrubbing pad. Brush the bracelet in 1 direction only, with the grain of the textured finish. Once all the daily scratches have been removed with the 3M pad, wash the bracelet in dish soap and water ... good as new!! If you are super-serious about bracelet maintainance, buy an inexpensive (but functional) ultrasonic cleaner and use 1/2 Windex and 1/2 tap water in it. LIke this one ----->>> http://www.meritline.com/sonic-wave-cd-2800-ultrasonic-jewelry-eyeglass-cleaner---p-55402.aspx Be certain the unit you buy is really ultrasonic .. some crap you can buy is just a vibrating pot ..

Jkay Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Right. It's dry and basically you are buffing the bracelet to put a shine on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
