Hi everyone,

This site is really great as I am a massive Ling fan and can't wait until I finish uni in the UK so I will finally have some cash to expand my collection!!!

Anyway, in the mean time I am very happy with my Colt Quartz II (Baby Ling!). I love the mix of polished and brushed metal on the case and was thinking about polishing the middle link of my brushed Pro II bracelet.

Am I crazy in thinking that this is possible to do myself? I was thinking cape cod cloths and masking tape may do the trick? Does anyone have any experience of polishing in detail?

Any advice is welcome.

Cheers,

Chris

I would invest in a Dremel tool with some polishing tips. Dremel has a kit that comes with a polish and some tips preloaded with polish. They are amazing to use and will make brushed stainless look like a factory polish.

I follow mine up with Cape Cod cloth and a clean polishing wheel with the Dremel. Mirror finish!
