Rebrushing question

[Erict719]

I have search and try scotch brite to refinish my clasp . not bad! The brushed look is back . BUT, it doesn't shine as much as the rest of bracelet.

I read about cape cod to end it up. Is this correct?

or nail polish works ? you know the bracelet suppose to look like there is a wet shine layer on it, But now its just matte looking.

Will brushing longer get the shine back ?

Also the clasp looks whiter in colour .

If I brush more, will it get a little darker shade or even whiter

I believe it's either scotch, if you want a matte/brushed look, or cap cod for shiny. If you want a more professional looking polished look, you should invest in a couple of different fine grit sandpapers + polish.

Scotch brite and a light Cape Cod finish for a little luster. It are simple an cheap solutions but don't expect a true 1:1 gen finish.

Well I just want it to match my bracelet at least. I have a tc v3

Try 3M P3000 grit polish sponge. Make sure to wet it first then rub vigorously for that brushed gen look. Only use on brushed surface NOT shiny polished.

You need a Bergeon 5444-A Fine Satin Finish Bar

What i've been doing lately is: brushing with a scotch brite pad, then following with a light coat of car wax and finishing by wiping the wax off with a microfiber cloth.

 

Brushed yet shiny, the best of both worlds.
