jester69 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I've got a SMP Ceramic and LOVE it. I'm pretty careful with it, but my favorite part of the watch the clasp has some scuff marks. Does anyone know what I can use to get the brushed finish back. I know I can try 0000 steel wool and the like, but thought I'd ask if anyone has done it before and might have some tips. Here's a pic of the scuff.

snaaakeey Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 https://www.cousinsuk.com/category/abrasive-blocks This is what you need chap. Word to the wise. Practice on a spare bracelet. A long straight sweeping motion in one direction only with the block and keep contact with the hole bracelet surface as you sweep plus keeping a dead straight motion for every sweep. These are key to getting all the grain lines going in the same direction and parallel like the factory finish. Also every sweep across the engraving will make it shallower and wider. The engraving will also become less defined. You'll need to work on just the scratch 1st. Keep brushing this bit only till the scratch is gone. Then brush the hole clasp a minimum number of times until the clasp grain looks uniform. Just 5 or so good brushes over the engraving will be enough to start changing how it looks so be careful. I like the roughest grade but it's really personnel preference. Good luck Sent from the Pad of I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bc1221 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Use fine sandpaper to get the scratch out and then use scotchbrite or steel wool to refinish. I'd also use some cape cod to finish it off. Just go in one direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astonjenks Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Use scotchbrite fine (Grey) and get gentler to a natural brushed finished like I have on my Bronzo today! AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kernow Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 It's a quick and easy job. You just need a steady hand and follow the instructions that others have advised. Once you've finished the clasp will be returned to as new condition and you'll feel proud of yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbane883 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 My suggestion is the Bergeon 6085 satin finish wheel. I use the E2 version and it's excellent. 2800rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
