Polished my Bluesy with Cape Cod tonight

This stuff is awesome! It took out the entire years worth of wear, micro scratches, and general dullness of the gold and stainless in about 1 hour of work including masking the brushed sections. I wasn’t entirely happy with the rush job polish Beckertime did on the watch when I got it. Lots of directional scratches in the polish on the sides of the bracelet links and some on the case. All of those are gone and it looks better than when I got it. I used a dry silver polish cloth on the top of the bezel to polish the gold though to avoid wetting the bezel insert with mineral spirits. Also avoided polishing the brushed sides of the bezel. I re brushed those last year after finding some spots had been hit during the original lazy polish job.

This Cape Cod polish is interesting. It appears to be an abrasive cloth with a mineral spirit base. I don’t think there’s any “compound” left exactly after polish. Just residual petroleum distillates to remove with soap and water after a final polish with their buffing cloth. Really cool and very easy to use! I like it!
