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

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. ~Brian |

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. |

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.  Regards Aaron |

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. ~Brian |
