Cape cod polishing cloth
« on: September 12, 2011, 09:53:57 AM »
Hi all,

I heard some raving reviews from the net about the above in polishing minor scratches on polished stainless steel watch.
Has anyone tried it before?
Where can I get it in Malaysia?

Regards

what's the difference between dry and wet type? isn't the dry type just normal fine cloth?

if we put a little spit on the dry type, will it turn into the wet type??  :Laughing_on_floor:

I think the dry type that David mentioned are those normal polish cloth you get with new watch purchase.
But the wet type (cape cod) can be used to buffer out hairline scratches.
Correct me if I'm wrong David.

 The dry type or the normal polish cloth that was used by the dealer to 'wipe' off hand prints from watches (after handling) looks something like a spec. / our glasses cloth had a 'silken' touch.

The wet type is moist / oily to touch and is kept in a non-evaporated - sealed packet. And I have not actually utilised it until now.

And since, it mentioned here that can buffer hairline scratches...let me test it out....

Sources from the internet;
Instructions and Application :

1. Use the enclosed gloves that come in the tin to help keep your hands clean. Remove a pre-moistened Cape Cod Metal Polishing Cloth & rub the tarnished silverware briskly, back and forth,  but not hard with even straight strokes.

is it ok to bump up this thread?

i'd like to know if Cape Cod can fix these small issues. i know they don't look very serious but when the light is at the right angles, the scratches look quite obvious. and all these are from just wearing the watch daily over the last 2 weeks or so. if i can get a pack of this Cape Cod thing, i'll give it a try on my older Daytona with much more scratches before attempting it on this one.
















also, i'm located in Kuching and if any members can tell me where to get this Cape Cod, i'd be very thankful.

thanks!

if you are planning to use it on the centre links... make sure u taped up the brushed side links. or else you'll polished out the brushed finish too

remove the bracelet from the head and tape up any surfaces you want to maintain before polishing it gently with the cloth.

You can use it on the brushed surface, just that the end result is you get a polished surface. If you want to maintain the brushed surface, use the green stuff you use to wash your plates or dishes.

for brushed surface, get 3M sandblaster 320 grit, RM18.90 in home-fix stores.
i've used it and works quite nicely, tho you have to be careful you dont sand too much off especially on edges.

the one to look for is like this, basically a hard sponge.
