Hi All,
Anyone knows where I can buy Cape Code polish cloth locally? Or recommend any alternative to DIY polish out scratches on my watches?
-
Maybe Lim can help ;) He is the only one so far i know in this forum who used cape code polish cloth before and the result according to him wasn't bad ;)
-
The result is good but it can't remove hairline scratches as it in itself creates hairline scratches. If you want to remove hairline scratches then you have to buy finer micron polish cloth which is sold overseas. You can order thru ebay or contact the seller in the forum. I remember seeing them in Timezone. Do a search. I bought my Cap Code cloth in Sg.

Have you read the article posted by Danny? Those wears and tears give extra value to your watches ;)
Honestly, some hair lines are good as long as no deep scratches ;)
I remember someone in TZ posted a tutorial how to use cape code maybe you can check or search on it or maybe you have already seen it before ;)
Cheers!

cape code cloth just designed for polished case...
just a reminder... if u rub it on a brushed/beat blasted surface.... then it will become more shining....
some watches designed to look tough....
so if bling watch.. no problem of using cape code cloth to polish lah...

it's difficult to find it in SG.... :Blue:

Thanks for the all the feedback. Have asked a friend in SG to look for the cloth.
So, I guess there is nothing we can get locally in M'sia for polishing our watches...
Have to source from overseas then...

Why not try JWWatch?
-
hush,
u can try out those super-fine sand paper, no. 1600 and above. it will give u mirror finishings after a few rubs (very light, even pressure).
or go to dxisho n get a piece of silver finish cloth at rm5. (can be found at the counter)
but i think sand paper give better result.

Hi Gapper,
Many thanks for the advice. Have tried using the 1200 sand paper on my brush ss cases and it managed to remove 90% of the scratches :thumbsup:
