It´s possible polish titanium ? This service is recommended ? The result is good ?

You can polish titanium using most items designated for stainless steel.

I know many of us are partial to Cape Cod cloths here, and that is what I would recommend. Be sure to keep any polish away from your crystal as it will scratch the surface or remove the anti-glare feature of the crystal.

For deeper scratches that cannot be removed by hand, I use a Dremel tool to polish my collection, and the Cape Cod cloths to finish. I buff by hand usually, but I also have Dremel attachments for stubborn swirl marks. Polishing will not always remove deeper scratches. For deep scratches, I use an unorthodox method...this will sound strange but I have use 1000-4000 grit disposable nail files on brushed surfaces to restore the brushed look on stainless steel bracelets. On polished surfaces, I use several different strengths of compounds until I achieve my desired fix, and finish with Cape Cod cloths and buffing with my Dremel tool. I would use extreme caution doing so if you have not done this practice before.

Someone else on this site recently advised using scotchbrite for my titanium Aerospace proII. It worked an absolute treat, and now looks as good as new.

I suggested the Scotchbrite, and while I'm happy that it worked for you, I wouldn't ever use it on a polished surface.

Strictly for brushed

Hey Mate,

You can polish Titanium and it will come up a treat. I polished my Seawolf case sides for some highlights and am very happy with the result.

I tried cape cod and others on the polished links of my Oris Prodiver bracelet , it never got anywhere near
the shine of the factory polish when it was new , And it tarnished almost immediately after i had
polish it..

By polishing your timepiece by hand, you'll never achieve a factory type polished finish. You can however with a Dremel tool...best $70 (with polishing kit) I've ever spent.
