Rep Gold Plating

[Kerbus]

Most definitely. Same concept when I detail a car. I can’t say when I’ll have my hands on that DD

Tarnishing can also be taken off. But it's a lot of work and carefulness not to go and fuck up the plating

Looks perfect ! What method did you use to remove the tarnish? For some reason it’s much worse on models with oysterflex bands.

@Dequantavious good old vinegar and gold polish

I'm sure you know but to prepare wax make sure the intial surface is immaculate. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

No, can you explain how to prepare and apply the way?

No, can you explain how to prepare and apply the way?

the Amazon page shows the tin has these instructions on it, is there anything more to keep in mind?

I use Renaissance wax. I simply make sure the watch or piece of jewelry is clean, wiped with a microfiber cloth, then the wax is applied sparingly, I find if you need more than one coat, it’s best to apply thin ones rather than caking the item with the wax. It’s pretty easy to apply with a cloth, something like a foam swab, or even your finger.

I plan to apply to my gold reps twice a year and take plenty of time to buff the wax off to a shine

How does one “buff the wax off”? Do i need a special machine?

Ha ha, just wipe it with the cloth by hand
