I thought you're asking for what's the best polishing paste and method for polishing stainless steel, not what shop that is doing the polishing.

for brushed finish, sand paper grade 1000 above will do or scotch brite pads

i personally used sand paper grade 1200 on brushed finish and never try scotch brite pads as i find them quite rough

brush with the grain NOT against it

Yup your right actually asking for the polishing paste or method. But will also consider to send it to the professional to get the job done too.

just curious, can cape cod really polish off the swirl marks on the bracelets or case? or it's just removal of the dirt on those marks to make it not so obvious?
