What is suggested to polish a Brushed Steel Oyster Bracelet?
Folks what would be suggested to polish a Brushed Steel oyster tool bracelet? I know Cape Cod Polishing cloths come up on TRF, but that is ideally used for highly shined/polished surfaces and I'm afraid if I use it on a tool brushed steel bracelet it will change the look. Any suggestions out there for polishing oyster tool brushed steel bracelets for my Sub? The clasp is what needs the most attention.
Thanks- Paul Boston, MA |

Thank you for the response, has this been effective on bring the surface of the clasp back to normal without damaging the look?
Thank you- Paul |

To add,after using a scotchbrite I like to use a fine grit sponge pad to bring out the shine a little more....!

I have used a 3M 7447 pad. The pad cost me about $1.5 and i managed to give 2 watches a super finish. I too recommend using a softer pad (also 3M, cant remember the grade) to smoothen the finish after brushing it.
