Alright pal,I definitely will do
I haven't got a patina that I'm totally happy with as of yet.
Don't get me wrong,I love the watch changing as the patina forms,but I'm too finicky......I'm sure I will get there in the end[emoji6]

I never saw a bronzo with a good amount of patina being cleaned and have that shiny new look again... that is what keep me from have this blue one very patinated...
They look clear but all matte.

Just done mine with lemon juice. It's twice cleaner and shinier than when it 1st arrived. All I've done after the lemon juice is gave it a little buff with nothing but a microfibre cloth! [emoji6][emoji106]

It's looking good brother
Did you clean it neat on a cloth?
It's turned out well & definetly better than the method I used,
I mixed freshly squeezed lemon juice with some bicarbonate into a wet thickish paste,left in on the watch for 20 mins.
Mine turned out well but a chew having to mix etc

I let it soak just for a few minutes in lemon juice( not watered down) then give it a scrub for a couple of minutes with the toothbrush. That was it 10 mins work at the most. Rinsed it under tap for 2 minutes, dried it off and a quick buff with cloth, no polish or anything! Back on strap again now. Gunna let it gain a natural patina and see how it goes again.

I've just ordered some of that stuff,is it as good as I've read about?
Do you just roll your O rings in the tub or do you just apply it with your fingers?

Remove all the o rings and use a small brush you don't need much, or use one of these. They spread the grease evenly and are easy to use.

Thanks pal,
I'm just starting in stripping watches down so I'm still "wet behind the ears" so to speak & hence all the questions [emoji106]
