Too general. What are we talking about here. SS? Polished? Polished Centerlinks? God forbid full gold? Talk to me bukky,

Opps. On those shiny PAM Casing...like PAM 111 and PAM 005

Since it's on the case start with a cape cod cloth. Rub at a 2/4 beat rate. Approximately 50 seconds. See where you stand at that point.

sorry, what do you mean by 2/4 beat?

For those shiny surface, is it special coated for the replica casing?

And is there any method to remove scratches on Titanium case?

You've got a very unique way of explaining things

What if it was just some light scratches on a polished bezel (PAM 192 SS bezel), would I have to resort to CapeCod, or would buffing to White Wedding do the trick?

Of course, I was just kidding about the song, but I'm serious about the scratches.

while on this topic. what is recommended for SS brushed bracelets? i heard cape cod isnt a good idea and will pretty much polish off that brushed look. I have a tiny rust spot on a bracelet link and of course some desk divers. whats the solution?

You can always use the sandpaper/scotchbrite method. If it's really tiny the fiberglass pens can work.

The oxide layer on Titanium is tough. You can do it but it is hard to match the finish.

What about the light scratches on 192 SS polished bezel, like this (look to the upper left of the 10 marker, there are many of these all around the bezel, it is just hard to see them in the picture, not so hard in person ):

there are so many collectors. I am certain you would find it a eyesore....right.

I say it has character. Just start with cape cod on that. It's already polished.

For brushed stainless, I use a good broke-in drywall sanding block. It has a nice beveled edge with a sharp corner so I'm not as likely to hit any polished surfaces, like center links, with it. Also, the foam core makes it easy to "mold" to curved surfaces. Just pull in steady strokes with the grain of the brush.

How broke-in is a good broke-in? Good question! It's probably 25% of its original "grittiness"... If you don't have a big drywall job on your horizon, you could always break one in by sanding the concrete in your garage. :lol:

I've never tried using CapeCod. What exactly does it do to SS which has a polished finish?

Oh, and sexybearbear, was that post meant for me, if so I'm not sure what you mean :?: , if not (as I know the world doesn't revolve around me), never mind

Cape Cod cloths are specifically designed to polish metal. It makes it more polishered.

Now that make more sense, oh wait, it shouldn't should it? I've been hanging around here too long

Quick follow-up question. As the case is made of titanium, will the CapeCod harm or discolour that in any way, should I cover the ti parts with tape while using the CapeCod?

Thanks for the time you're spending with this

 

[fakemaster]

It wouldn't hurt to tape off the brushed areas.
