I would like to give my Omega PO a break and renewal as I am wearing my gmt II. Where can I order a kit that will remove scratches on brushed and polished surfaces? Is it true that the watch can be made to look like new? Any refinishing tips wil be greatly appreciated!!

Leave it alone and do it when you do your servicing. There was recently a post which showed how much metal people have taken off their watches by polishing them , even to the point of rounding off the shoulders. My vote is to let it happen professionally if at all.

I trust myself much more to do this than anyone else. Has any of you heard of cape cod cleaning cloths?

I am with Arturo on this one. Leave as is you may well rub a lit to much and then regret.

I saw a cape cod cloth round the shoulders of a beautiful watch with an overzealous person. get a light polish from AD or RSC if you must.

Have a look at the link below.

You should be able to get anything necessary to do the job, I am not sure if they ship internationally, but at least you can find out what to look for.
Cape Cod cloths are for Polished surfaces only you will need a scratch removal pen for the brushed.
As long as you are careful you will not do your watch any harm.
I used a cape cod cloth to polish my better halfs Tag and it came up beautifully and scratch removal fiber pens work great on marks on brushed bracelets.
Cheers,

Spark.

Cape Cod is fine on the polished parts if yo don't get carried away. 3M ScotchBrite pads do a nice job on lthe satin parts..

Remember, you cannot remove scratches.. All you can do is re-scratch or scratch deeper (remove more metal) so the scratch there is either realigned or not noticable..
