The connie is a difficult one as it not a standard brush finish, I don't quite know how do describe it, it is very delicate, almost like a japanese rice paper finish.
I have cape cod but think that would be far to strong for this finish.
Personally I have found sunshine polishing cloths to be the most gentle and yet at the same time able to take out minor scratches without ruining the finish.

When you say quartz do you have the normal 15 second a month one or the double eagle perpetual which I have. Comparing the two is the equivelent to comparing an ETA movement with a Patek movement IMHO!

I am so happy with mine, it is performing much better than quoted specs, looks like I am on for +3.5 seconds a year accuracy
Here are a couple of pictures of mine, we don't have enough Connie pictures!


And an idea of the brushed finish on this watch
