UncleJay Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Well, it's quite simple really. Start with a trip to your local supermarket's cleaning isle and buy Scotch-Brite pads (about $1.50 for a 2 pack). Now, walk over to stationary and buy a pencil/pen eraser (about$.50). Moving in one direction and using light, smooth strokes go over the case and lugs .... the color will lighten a bit but will go back in a day or so. Be sure no to touch the bezel with the pad ..... that's what the eraser is for. Using the pen side go around the bezel with even circular strokes. This also works for satin steel models and for giving your polished CG that Pre-Vendome brushed look. I started showing this a few years ago at a gathering I hosted. Sorry if this has been posted before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Dog Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 $150 for a couple scotchbrite pads! What a rip off! {edit: dang, you caught it!} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleJay Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 LOL, actually I didn't edit the $1.50, it was a word I missed. BTW, it works really well. I showed someone who took his watch from a 75% to a 90+% with about an hours work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 The pen eraser The pencil eraser is too soft and doesn't do anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleJay Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I use the gray side of the gray/pink school type eraser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
