Any experiences with Cape Cod?

Thanks for your responses everyone! Quite helpful! :)

I’ve used it on some minor scratches I had on the polished section of my DJ41 clasp. It worked great.

easy to overdo, and soften sharp lines - if patience is a virtue, proceed with caution - otherwise, save the CC for the mid-range fodder

I use them as deodorant. Lasts for days.

The only time any Rolex needs any sort of polishing is at normal routine service every 5-10 years depending on how used say if used as a working tool 5 years.The sure way to ruin any Rolex is those wanting to polish every time they see the slightest scratch.

Thank you, Peter! Very helpful! :)

It will only remove very fine scratches. Use a light circling motion and keep checking your progress. Tape up any brushed finishes with masking tape.

If you look at what you have done under magnification, you will see a myriad of ultra fine scratches, that create the shine/polish. It's not a factory finish.

Good to know! Thanks! :)

Jubilee or Oyster strap? I think the Jubilee might be challenging though. Not quite sure.

Yeah. Afraid to take the risk. I'll just leave it. Cheers man!

Good point! Cheers! :)

Looks like it. Cheers!

Yeah, I can tell. Most likely on jubilee bracelets. Yikes!

I'll take you on that. Cheers! :)

Good point. Is it true the metal will get smaller in due time from all these polishing? Cheers!

Will do.

I tried it once and it only made things worse. Maybe I didn’t know what I was doing but I’ll never take a CC to a Rolex again.

Thanks for the caution! Sorry about your experience. Lesson learned, at least.
