Has anyone tried this "Scratch Removal & Polishing SuperKit"? The before and after photos on their site are amazing.  Is this safe to use on Breitling watches?  I use the Cape Cod cloth on my watches but it simply does not remove any of the scratches/scuffs. http://watchbandrenew.weebly.com/products.html

I've used this kit. It does a great job on brushed finishes and a good job on polished. I think there is more info on the homepage. |

Surprised, I never used a Cape Cod myself but I do recall reading another post where a member converted his brushed bazel to a polished using nothing more than a Cape3 Cod cloth. Wessa |

Any of these kits will work...but you can also royally screw up the finish if you don't know what you are doing. Using a Cape Cod is one thing, but when you start grinding the metal with sandpaper you open yourself up to metal distortions which can't be fixed. My $0.02...Leave it to the professionals. |

Agreed for anything more than Cape Cods (or Scotchbrite for brushed finishes). I'm certainly not skilled enough to consider using any type of machine polishing myself. One for the pros. |

I use a green ScotchBrite. But, that is as far as I will go. |

I have had excellent results with both the Scotchbrite and the Cape Cod cloth but for anything other than swirls, desk diving marks or scuffs, let a pro handle it. There's nothing worse than staring at the crappy refinishing job you just did on your once beautiful watch. |

i have a polishing wheel and if you practice on some stainless steel it's not hard to do, polishing mop pads and felt pads, pink and black rouge, Vienna lime for the grease, and cape cod for polished, or a cheap green scourer for brushed. i have saved myself £££ on polishing costs, and i have taken out dinks scratches marks and repolished buckles and brushed them back again. i just decided one day i would have a go. i like my watches scratch free and i can now get down to a mirror finish.
