No, you would use the Q-tip along with the Cape Cod cloth. Wrap an edge of the cloth in the Q-tip for fine control of the polishing area. You'd want to tape over the brushed links too as an added precaution. The Cape Cod cloth will smooth polish the brushed area if you're not careful. Bo has a photo of overpolishing using the Cape Cod.
