Cape cod experience

[Erict719]

I have read good review of it. But I have use it for many times.

not even once it get the scratch off. They are normal hair line scratch not deep.....

Yes the polish side got brighter... but all scratch are still there.

any other product to use? without a polishing machine tho.

Please advice guys

Cape Cod cloth is the most mild solution and is not for scratches you can feel. It's purpose is polishing not refinishing.

[Erict719]

any other product?

So many review of cape cod remove scratch.

Is there a special procedure of usin it?

don't tell me I have to polish by hands for 10 hours straight lol

Cape Cod will remove ugly scuffs. Scratches need a polishing wheel on an electric Dremel tool. Plus jeweler's rouge paste.

[ceocorona]

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.

Try a green scotch brite pad, depending how deep the scratches are.

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.

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.

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.

every time I edit this post gets weirder !

Dremel or polishing wheel with green rouge (for polishing stainless steel).

[greenking]

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.

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]

Pick up a tube of metal polish from your local auto shop.the stuff you would use for chrome etc.works a treat

[megafatius]

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

[red series 3]

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.
