330cic Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 So I recently got my package of Cape Cod and tried it on my gen. I didnt go too rough on the cleaning becasuse I really wanted to test it 1st. WOW, Johhny Shine indeed. So there is A TON of info on the polishing SS reps and I have read info on polishing the TT rep bracelts. Some say yes, some say no. Anyone have any experience on the polishing of the REP TT bracelets ?? The last thing I want to do it damage the gold that is on the TT bracelet. I know this might be and over done topic but I am hoping that there are a few Vets out there to help. If there is a better suggestion than Cape Cod cloth for polishing REP TT bracelets, please do share. Regards, "The meltdown of the mortage industry is not only of the bad apples in the industry. There are those that are the clients that f%$!ed it up also" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giorgio Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I definitely would not use a Cape Cod on anything but polished SS. It will wear the plating down to the steel on anything plated, and will even polish out the brushed effect on brushed stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff g Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I agree...do not use on TT or brushed surfaces at all. Meant only for polished SS bracelets and cases. Not even good to get on crystals...scrattches. I DO recommend it for softening up stiff bracelets as well. Makes them 'buttery'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkerouac Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I used a Cape Cod on a two tone Santos 100 bezel... after the gold plating was already wearing off. I figured that if I wore it all the wear off it would either look like a subtle white gold or at worst a SS bezel, which was preferable to a worn TT look. .... And it worked! This particular rep (first gen, cost me $100 or less) still doesn't compare with my best or even my better quality reps, but anything is better than partially worn gold plating.

Corgi Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 If you want to polish plated gold, use CONNOISSEURS dual-side polishing cloth. They come in a red box. I recently tested them against a TT link, 14K 15mil gold wrap. Even after strong rubbing, the gold remained - and returned to its original luster. I would use Cape Cod for watches like SS Breitling, where the polished SS scratches really easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
