projectologist Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Wanted to say thanks again to member robertb for the beautiful refinishing he did on my 1B franken. Bye-bye CapeCod Cloth... I'm buying myself a bench-mount polishing/buffing setup and learn how to do this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DemonSlayer Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Wheels and compounds are way better at polishing than Cape cod. I swear by compounds and wheels ever since I got them. All the other chemical stuff is stored away and occasionally used for small touch ups on case parts etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Can't beat rouge (green and red) and a nice cotton buffing wheel to get a beautiful shine. Amazing quality workmanship, totally different watch. Wow. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest avitt Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Brobert does some amazing work! The trick is not just polishing wheels and rouge...you have to really know how to use them. (In fact, polishing wheels can quickly ruin the lines of a case, if used incorrectly.) It's obvious that Brobert takes the time and care to tape off the edges, to ensure that, in addition to providing a brilliant finish, he maintains the sharp corners and edges. When it comes to case reconditioning, Brobert is the man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
