Rolexman Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 (edited) Just cut the cloth into a small square piece and wrap some cotton thread around the base. Then cut off the excess material that is sticking out. Use a polishing wheel as base so if the cloth wears out you won't grind away half the watch . C PIC You wil get the perfect reult!!!

offshore Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Yeh, Thats gotta work- I have actually cut a piece of scouring pad in to a circle- for roughing up and descaling some other stuff I need to clean to gold plate- and it works too. Now all I have to do is to find someone with Cape Cod cloth in Oz- they musn't want to export- cos their freight cost is ridiculous. offshore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offshore Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Thanks dec, I know the guy from Caswell Plating- he's actually the brother of the Caswell guy in Canada- but he doesn't carry a lot of stock in Oz- i still have to get most of my Caswell stuff from over there! And a pain in the A it is! i have actually fired off a mail to Cape Cod over the weekend- asking if i can bring a few packets in to distribute- as they don't have a distributor in Oz- see how that pans out? @Larry- Gee am amazed that you could even correspond with yobbos But thanks for the kind offer- will come back to you, if nothing pans out with CC... Thanks again Offshore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailadams Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Sure thing. Not too hard to get them here, of course, so let me know if you and other ozzies need a few. Have to keep the egging up or ken will think I've forgotten him, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchDude Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Cape Cods are nice, but check out Sunshine. Not as messy and I personally think they work better. http://www.manyhorses.com/store_polishingcloths.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highflyingclive Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I used this trick to change the (incorrect) brushed finish on a JleC Kompressor to nice and shiny. I simply cut the cape Cod into a 10mm strip, folded it like a concertina, punched a hole through the wad and mounted it on the arbour of my fake Dremel. I am really pleased with the result. Achieving this finish took less time than stripping and replacing all those damn crowns on the Kompressor. I have also discovered that Cape cod - used manually - is great for removing fine scratches from the acrylic dome crystal on my vintage Radiomir California.
