Cape Cod polishing example:
I thought I'd try Cape Cod polishing cloths, so I go to the website:
http://www.capecodpolish.com/products/main_index.php and buy a can: ![]() Here's the tiny little scratches on the bezel that are the problem: ![]() I cut a little square of the nice vanilla smelling cloth and wrap it around a toothpick: ![]() Rub lightly back and forth (for me about 50 times) and wipe off: ![]() Now I have a nice shiny bezel like new again! ![]() P. S. Anyone want me to polish your watch, just send it to me! ![]() ![]()

The Cape Cod's do a great job as long a you keep them away from the crystal in case it has an anti-reflective coating on it. Otherwise I use that as my final step when polishing my PAMM111. First I start with Wenol Red, the Wenol Blue and on to the CC.
Might want to check those products out as well, using all three provides excellent depth.

Nice! Does Cape Cod cloth work with gold / plat only or it works with Stainless Steel too?
Thanks for showing! ![]() |

Works with it all, be careful to only use on polished areas, not brushed.

Very nice. I have to muster the courage and try it on the mid links of my 16613 to get reid of few nagging scratches.
Thanks for sharing. |

Cape Cod for all SS watch
I have Rolex Sub 16610 and GMT Master both are all SS and its brushed (center link is not shiny). Can I use Cape Cod cloth to remove scratches? or somthing else. I read on some forum that I user Autosolve instead as Cape Cod is only for shiny surface. Let me know please.
Thanks. |

Aside from the brushed SS parts, I have a few nicks and dings I want to take care of. Here's a pic to give you an idea of the "brushed" look on my particular watch. |

Yes, I have purchased Cape Cod polish as well, even before I receive my Daytona, as a preventive measure. No need yet, however "Murphys Law" will one day show it's ugly head and I will without doubt knock my watch into something like the Empire State Building. Oh well, I am prepared.

Yes. It works wonderfully, as long as you are VERY CAREFUL. I cut a very small piece of the cloth and use a Q-Tip handle behind it to get to the small flutes individually. With care and patience, the results are excellent!

Cape Cod is a great product for us watch enthusiasts. I polished the bracelet of my Breitling Skyland and it looks new.

Hi Prince, I know this is 10 years old but can you explain how exactly you applied the cloth using q tip to the flutes? I have 36mm and the fluted are very tight together!

The scratches on my watch give it character! I don't know if I will ever polish them.

Did you only polish where it was scratched? Did the finish match the rest of the bezel or did you have to polish the whole bezel?

Does anyone have thoughts on the best way to remove scraches on the brushed links on a bracelet? It sounds like the Cap Cod works well for polished areas but not for brushed areas?
