Any recommendations on how to get rid of swirl marks on my SA casing?

Thinking of using cape cod, will this work?

Many, many topics on Cape Cod and Sunshine cloths. Yes, they work.

Got some cap cod myself recently, yes they do work very well.
A bit of elbow grease is needed but in the end they do work magic.
Try, give it a bit of effort and you will see the results.

honestly i would not worry too much about it. the high polish is a magnet for light swirls. just wear it and enjoy. the OCD of trying to keep a watch in pristine condition will drive you nuts.

Cape cods will do the trick for sure, it takes a bit of effort and time to get them all out. Almost as fast as you got rid of them they will be back to greet you with a smile. Even worse if you live somewhere with a lot of humidity. Give it a good once over every few months and enjoy. No point driving your self crazy over something that is so minor no one else even notices.

cape cod works for sure... im happy with the results. just be careful to protect the crystal by covering with painters tape for absolute protection.

I am trying a product that has been around for a long time and it if more aggressive than a cape cod but goes a great job with less work. The product name is Peek metal polish and it is available through many online retailers.
