Jkay Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Cape Cod cloth is the most mild solution and is not for scratches you can feel. It's purpose is polishing not refinishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Cape Cod will remove ugly scuffs. Scratches need a polishing wheel on an electric Dremel tool. Plus jeweler's rouge paste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceocorona Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 If the scratches are deep enough you may need to look into some extra fine sand paper; 800, 1000, 3000 grit. There are a few "how-to's" on this process. I'd check that section of the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramviksrille Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Are we suppose to go back and forth for brushed bracelet? I thought we only go one direction. top to bottom then top to bottom.. correct me if wrong. since I want to know which way is better also. by the way I want to take scratch off polished surfave I have used a dremel tool with jeweler's rouge paste as already mentioned and other pastes depending on how the surface look like. On cousinsuk.com (amongst others and all over ebay) they sell it and also have a description on what past to use were. Depending on how deep scratches and what quality the rep steel is it usually work very good if you have patiens. Rep Dremel can be bought from around $10 or so.

Aero_Dave Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) Check a post I did about my method: http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/just-little-cleaning-135497.html?t=135497 In case you can't read the link, here is it again. Its a very easy process and works great. And yes, go in one direction only taking your time. If the scratches are still there, just repeat the process until they are all gone. The nail file I used has 4 different sides and some you can buy will have a different level of roughness on each side. OK, so I got my 'gently-used' Omega Ploprof last week. Tonight (while the wife was out) I decide to do a little cleaning. I use the wife's nail file to get the job done, so it's a good idea to wait until she's not around. OK, so with 30 minutes, the wife's nail file, my polishing cloth and my camera, here are the results: The clasp 'before' with a few desk marks: Now the 'after' shot, after some buffing with the nail file and polishing cloth: The project table (the kitchen island) another good reason to wait for the wife to be out: So, if you have a few desk marks that bother you, grab your wife's nail file and clean'em up.

Aero_Dave Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Thanks for everyone. but the part I need to polish not brush. to be exectly , its the side of a wm9 body. Not a problem. You can start with my method above and then work through the same process with different levels of sand paper. 800, 1200, 1500, 2000 and finish with 3000 and use water with the sand paper. The higher up you go with the sandpaper numbers, the less actual metal it removes and creates a very shiny polished finish. Dave... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Dremel or polishing wheel with green rouge (for polishing stainless steel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenking Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Do you wish to provide which Dremel type /polishing wheel type and also which rouge recommended for finish/buffing to be the ss more closed to gen ss? Thank you. Edited June 28, 2013 by greenking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Any dremel will do. Use the felt wheel & green rough for rough polishing (after finish sanding) & the cloth wheel & green rouge for final polishing. Refer to the dremel's instructions for wheel fitting/usage.

Mike@tommys Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Pick up a tube of metal polish from your local auto shop.the stuff you would use for chrome etc.works a treat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megafatius Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 As the others said a dremel with rouge is the best way. Also I found simichrome polish with a microfiber cloth is a little stronger than a cape cod cloth, though it still wont get out the deep ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red series 3 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 I find cape cod to be very good. Does require some elbow grease to polish up. I wipe down with a wet paper towel afterwards then use a regular dry polish cloth. I've been very happy with my cape cod cloths I do keep them in a sealed container as I have been told they become ineffective if they dry out.
