Hey TRF Crew,

Anyone have a particular polishing cloth that keeps your Rolex looking crispy and shiny? I have the Rolex one/etc, but thought I'd ask my peeps!

Thanks!

Nothing works better than ..soap, water & a rub over with the bottom of tee-shirt

A quick lick of the crystal, wipe on t-shirt.......good to go & minimal expense...save your bread for more watches!

Vareat sp? Makes nice products and excellent cloths.

I wash mine by using a soft toothbrush in tepid soapy water then rinse under the tap.

To dry it I use a lint-free microfibre cloth I got from E-bay.

They are large blue ones. Comes in packs of 5 or 10. Great cloths!

Works brilliantly.

Any micro fiber will do.

Frogman4me · 19 July 2011, 10:08 AM

I like to use promaster cloths. They can be bought on Amazon.

For true polishing...for instance, on PCLs (keep away from all brushed areas) check out Cape Cod cloths.

Interesting. Still seems like the general consensus is a soft toothbrush, water, and hand soap(which I do). However, I usually use a polishing cloth from jeweler I use for my gold/etc, to finish the preening afterwards.

Who doesn't like a sparkling Rolex right?!

i prefer mine a little beat up, but sometimes you gotta shine.

Have to agree any sort of soft clean lint free cotton type cloth is fine.Rolex watches don't need any special cleaning cloths chemicals etc except plain old soap and water.

Varaet is the # 1 in my book! they sell great cloths and a cleaning solution as well..

x2 a quick spray and a wipe down once a week or so and you're good to go

Dr. Robert · 20 July 2011, 01:31 AM

I like Brasso for shining up SS.

X3 for Vareat.

Came back from a beach/camping weekend with the Sub - a couple of sprays and wipe down brought that shine right back!

Bdel · 21 July 2011, 11:27 PM

Veraet watch spray and a microfiber cloth!

Annan · 21 July 2011, 11:34 PM

Another vote for Veraet and its cloths.....great product! And for small scratches and polishing on the shiny bits....Cape Cod Polishing Cloths. Don't use on anything that has a brushed service however.

Nothing like a quick spit shine on the crystal.
