Don't fret; it's not like after 2-3 minutes of polishing, that watch will become deformed or melt away. We're talking fractions of fractions of a millimetre. But out of an abundance of caution, I avoid doing this process any more than a couple of times per year. When used with the spray the horsehair brush can gently but effectively clean in all the nooks and crannies. These delightful, vanilla-scented Cape Cod Polishing Clothscan be used over and overto replenish and re-new. Cape Cod Polishing Clothshave been specifically designed - with twenty-five years experience - to clean, polish and protect.These Cape Cod Clothscontain a versatile polish which is perfect for any metal from gold to stainless steel.

But from what we have observed using this method, the result is quite good. But of course, it is completely up to you what you decide in the end. The benefit of polishing cloths is that it is not as abrasive as polishing paste, which is what some people use to polish their watches. The benefit of the polishing cloths is that they are more gentle to the watch and don’t remove as much metal from the watch as polishing paste does.If you are looking to polish your watch, but want to polish it in a safe way that won’t risk over-polishing it, a watch polishing cloth is a way to go. I tried it on the PCL of a TT although it sort of removed some scratches but it seems to leave behind micro patch of scratches that can be somewhat visible under certain lighting showing a faint white area where the cloth was used. Then (again following the advice of forum members) I rubbed a cotton bud/q-tip on the Cape Cod cloth to impregnate it with Cape Cod solution then rubbed this over the scratched area. This allowed me to give the watch a "buff" and remove any small scratches caused by the more abrasive Cape Code Cloth.

Authenticity

This is a question that is constantly discussed in forums and online… The thing with polishing a watch is that when you polish it, you remove material from the case and bracelet. If polished improperly, or too heavily, the watch can, especially over time and after many repeated polishes, risk losing its original shape, lines, and forms. This especially relates to the case of the watch since this, unlike a bracelet, cannot really be replaced. At least not affordably or easily. For a Rolex Submariner, it is particularly true since changing the case is extremely expensive (and difficult), but it also results in a different serial number, thus creating a mismatch that is very unattractive, and incorrect for that matter. You will be amazed at what gets caught between the bracelet links and how much of a transformation can be made with a good clean. (you may want to wear gloves with this one!!) Cape cod polishing cloths are the most popular cloths on the market. The primary reason is of course that they do the job of polishing your watch really well.

Most of the cheaper microfiber cloths feel smooth to the touch. The really good microfiber cloths actually do NOT feel smooth. The reason is, that the fibers on the good cloths are so thin, and with a good weave pattern will actually grab at the microscopic dead skin and irregularities of the surface of your skin.NOTE: Do not use the polishing cloths for the lugs (brushed parts) of your case. This will remove the brushing and result in a polished finish that is not attractive. If you need to polish the lugs of your case, it is best to leave it to an expert as these delicate areas require more expertise and the correct tools for a perfect result. To polish the bracelet (actually, you brush it since it has a brushed finish), you can use a scotch Brite green pad. The Scotch Brite pad will leave a brushed finish on your bracelet when used, but it will do so very gently since it is far less grainy and aggressive than, say sandpaper. Warm water rinse watch again gently rubbing watch to remove all detergent ( only if watch is properly sealed). Spray it on and leave it to soak in for a couple of minutes then clean it with the horse hair brush to get into all the spaces and finish it off a buffing cloth.

I use a microfiber cloth to clean my camera lenses, eyeglasses, and my Speedmaster 3573.50 all so far with great success. The third watch polishing cloths you can use are from the brand Connoisseur. These cloths clean and polish all watches. It is easy to use and provides a high-luster anti-tarnish finish. It can be used on gold, platinum, silver, or steel. It is a bit different from the other cloths in the sense that you use the inner cloth to remove dirt and tarnish from your watch, and then use the outer cloth to buff and polish your watch to a high luster. And here is the after. This took approximately 10 minutes polishing and cleaning. You can see it has removed most of the scratched surface as well as the brushed finish, which I will correct shortly with a light brushing from a stainless steel scratch pad.Take your Cape Cod Metal Polishing Cloth and just gently rub over the shiny and polished parts of your Rolex watch, and within minutes, you’d notice that these polished bits are looking brighter than ever, almost as if you’d sent it in to be professionally polished. On areas where there are scratches, just gently rub a little bit more, and you’d either see them disappear altogether, or become less prominent (if they’re deeper scratches). Another polishing cloth you can use is Eternal polishing cloths. These have the same approach to polishing as Cape Cod. The cloths utilize a proprietary nano- polishformula to remove tarnish, wear, and minor scratches, andpolishto a beautiful, deep, and long-lasting shine. The best way to polish the sides of your Rolex Submariner case is to use Cape Cod polishing cloths. These cloths are impregnated with a very gentle polishing cream that helps polish the case.The cloths clean, polish and protects the polished surface of your watch, but most importantly work to remove hairlines and scratches.
