Polished surface use Cape Cod.
Brushed use Scotch-Brite.

Cape Cod is fun at first but after awhile, the novelty wears out. You have to rub really hard if the scratches are deep. A pain in the ar** if the polished and brushed finish are close to each other. And you need a good piece of cloth to polish off the watch as that's part of the polish process. Poor choice of cloth used will give poor results and likely introduce hairlines again.

That whole can of Cape Cod I bought is now just sitting on the shelf. Maybe I'll use it for some brassware instead...  :HammerHead:

Nope, only light scratches.

Depends.. but in general, daily wiping will actually bring more hairline scratches if using the wrong cloth. I'm a filthy bugger so wiping a shiny bezel on my t-shirt everyday causes a lot of hairlines indeed.

Bought the cloth type presoaked in the polishing agent.instructions say cloth can be reused over and over again,noe need to wash but after a few polishes,would nt the metallic grit be stuck onto the cloth? The grit will in fact intro scratches onto your next polishing job.I rather use autosol or brasso and clean cloth everytime
