With watch polishing cloths, you don’t need to take your watch to a watchmaker but can instead polish it from the convenience of your home. You will also be able to decide how much or how little you want to polish it. You also decide how you are going to polish it. What is a watch polishing cloth? I also re-polished a small copper and brass bowl i found in a cupboard to show how well it works on other metal too.

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. I've used the Cape Cod cloth successfully, even on a high-polished Breitling (100% removal success). Proper technique and patience, my friend! It may or may not remove the blemish 100% on your watch, but it will be very less noticeable. 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. 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!!) For example, a "microfiber" cloth can be waterproof which makes it useless as a towel. The same fibers, can be weaved, however, into a waffle weave pattern which makes it soak up water like crazy.

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). 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.

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. 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 have an old 3M lens cloth which is awesome with a small waffle weave battern and when slid over my hand feels rough as it grips the skin. I also will not allow anything but microfiber to be used to dry my car. I even have waffle weave microfiber bath towels instead of cotton.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. 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.

Firstly, you need to understand that different cloths give a different finish. The primary difference is polished and brushed surfaces on a watch. A common mistake that we see people make is that they use a polishing cloth which will give a polished finish, onto a surface that is brushed. Yes, this method will remove scratches, but it will also make the brushed finish of your watch turn polished, thus changing its original appearance and how it should be. Time and time again people are amazed at how this small soft pink cloth can remove the scratches from their watches and restore the polished shine, or how the spray cleans and lubricates their brushed steel watch bracelets so they look and feel like new again. The argument against polishing your watch is that over time, after numerous polishings – in particular, if executed incorrectly – your watch can start to lose its original lines and shapes. Ultimately, this will decrease the value of your watch and make it less appealing to collectors. But at the same time, it’s important to bear in mind that there are several catches to this idea. Firstly, the debate of polishing or not polishing will have the greatest effect on expensive collector’s watches. If you have a watch for a few hundred, the potential issue of overpolishing your watch won’t be as great. Furthermore, it also primarily applies to vintage watches where the condition is of utmost importance. With this in mind, in this article, we are going to go through exactly that. How you can do a home restoration by polishing and removing scratches from your Rolex Submariner in a careful manner. Some would argue that you should only have your watch polished by experts, but generally, when they are polished by watchmakers, they are polished with real polishing machines, which tend to remove more of the material than the methods discussed in this article will.

Also the buffing cloth included in the tin of Cape Cod should not be used to buff the polishing residue away? It has a rough texture. Gripping the Apple with my thumb and index finger, I'll press the side of the watch I want to polish against the polishing cloth with a medium pressure and begin making slow vertical passes up and down the cloth. You'll see a dark line form on the cloth... that's your watch! The polishing cloths contain a very fine abrasive that gently removes microscopic layers with each pass. 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. Get rid of the old toothbrushes! This horsehair brush is soft enough to use on your detailed metal objects, your watch bracelets and jewellery.

For collectors, the answer is often to not polish a watch. But for people, in particular, who are not obsessed watch nerds, the greatest importance is that the watch is in nice condition, in the sense that it is absent from dings and scratches. And as a matter of fact, there are also watch enthusiasts who dislike scratches and dents on their watches, and will naturally polish them occasionally as well. Opinion within the forum on the wisdom of attempting to polish out scratches is clearly divided. So I thought you might like to hear what I did and how I got on.

Authenticity

Note that if you have a two-tone (gold and steel) Rolex Submariner, you should not brush the polished center. The best to prevent this is to put tape on this part. Polishing the sides of the case Obviously we mostly use them to polish the hairline scratches that occur from daily wear on Stainless steel watches, but we have used them just as successfully on gold watches, silver jewellery, and the copper fruit bowl in our office! 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. 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.
