Polishing Brushed Surface (Black Bay)

Hi all,

what kind of product would you use to get the same finish as the brushed surface on the BB? I"ve done this before, on other watches, but just not sure what type of coarseness i should use....im doing this on a cheap watch, for fun btw

tks

sorry... do you want to "polish" or do you want to "brush" ???

To polish you would use a combination of polishing compounds until you arrived at the finish you want..

To brush you use either scuff pads, such as a Scotch Brite green or red pad, or satin bars (sanding sponges) or perhaps a fiber pen. 600 grit (find) is a nice finish.
