Scratches - be gone!

While I won't be taking a Cape Cod cloth to my Submariner anytime in the near future, is this 'miracle rag' effective in removing light scratches from automotive chrome bumpers (i.e. a '57 T-Bird)? Experimenting with a Cape Cod cloth and then having to re-chrome the bumper would be a real drag.

Here is the deal. I was wearing my Daytona daily. Now I have moved it to a special occasion watch. So I cape cod it only once as it will not be scratched again.

Depends on how deep the scratches are. Post a pic up and let me see.

I used a Sonax product specifically made for cars as yet it's inheritedly a scratch remover it worked in my watch too. For better results, Rolex Service or trained professionals

Ive got Autosol, Autoglym and a few other metal compounds but I dont think any would be as gentle and fine as cape cod. I was almost tempted though ��

But it does look great in the pics

Micro abrasion? Then u r doing something wrong. Done capecod so many times on different watches. Never seen any micro abbrasion on stainless steel watches. Even when seen thru magnifying glass under different sort of lights at many angles.

I actually like when mine are coated with the patina of micro scratches. To me, they look better, fly under the radar a little and feel more like mine. Many of us worship the vintage pieces w/ their amazing patinas of use. Well, you have to start somewhere. I only refinish watches if I'm getting rid of them...
