I use a VERY small amount on the Rollies.The brushed finish is not altered,it just gives it an amazing shine.You can really see that high Ni content of the Rolex ss.Nice blueish sparkly shine,that distinguishes Rolex ss from the rest.

Obviously I dont polish them every day.The thin layer that I apply,wipes off,very easily.So its not like polishing a car with some real "elbow grease"

I bought Brasso that was designed for gold but it do anything for my wedding ring. I have a white gold wedding ring that I use when I do chores around the hose and my bike and never took it off and the rhodium finish wore off.

I didn't know at that time that white gold had Rhodium finish/plating. Wasted my money on the Brasso for that purpose.

Well the only Brasso I know in the UK is made to polish brass copper metals etc and quite abrasive in its action.Sometimes used a a car cut polish to take the bloom out of the paintwork.Works quite good in removing scratches from acrylic watch crystals.

I'm still trying to nail that on my mind, but it's in great progress now.

Yeah, oddly enough there's Brasso in Canada that polishes gold too - go figure eh?

Yeah, JJ once tried Brasso on his TT Sub Date.

The cloth went yellow and the watch steel-coloured

That is also why we keep seing those OLD photos of his TT Sub.















































Note: Never use Brasso on gold plate!

I have a fiberglass scratch stick for the brushed surfaces and a cape cod for light areas, the older models I've used the Dremel with red jewelers rouge to take out anything deep. Been doing it for years and years with flawless results.
