It entirely depends on what finish you are trying to match, you may have to try several grades to get the right one.

Here's what I use. I found it recommended on one of the gen forums and it seems to be very close. I bought both fine and extra fine at Home Depot. Cheap!

I use a abrasive cloth called micromesh, you can pick up a selection pack on ebay that has grits from 1500 through to 12000. Brilliant stuff that can be used with water or oil.

Lasts ages.

I use a 3M sanding sponge in extra fine. Work in one direction along the length of the bracelet for a KILLER finish!

3M refinishing pads are what most people use, I think. That's what they are for, right?

I found one thing that is very bothering is that. doesn't matter how good I brush it.

After a wash or two with hand soap, the brush seems to be lighten and keep getti g shinier ... Am I not suppose to use soap at all to wash?

Soap and water cleans off the sweat and oil deposited by your skin. This makes the metal brighter.

but then the brushed surface get thinner too. And not as tight brushed. Thicker hairline. If u know way I mean

Try hitting it lightly with Cape Cod afterwards.

But don't rub too hard or it'll have your brushed finish looking polished.

I use the 3m refinishing pad which I buy from Wiz. He also has a tutorial on YouTube on how to brush
