I know that many uses cape cod clothes to polish bracelets and remove small scratches.
But have anyone tried metal polish ? I tried it on one link on my superavenger bracelet
with a good result. Is it to heavy to use ?

If you're in the UK you can stop over at tozzleozzle's and he can give it a bath for you in his ultra-sonic cleaner. It will be sparkling new but it won't work any longer. :poke: j/k I have never used metal cleaner but the cape cods work great. I'd be nervous using metal cleaners on my bracelets, they're fairly abrasive.

:yeahthat You've got to be very careful with metal polish as some can remove quite a lot of material. Sure you may get results quicker than with Cape Cods, but that's because it's wearing away the metal faster. Personally I'd rather take longer and use the Cods, but know that I won't be removing too much metal.

here is my secret recipe for the best possible shine;

light on the cape cod and then the metal polish with a few cottons balls... the metal polish can be purchased at any automotive supply store. This brand is not very abrasive and I always apply it with my finger then buff it out with a good quality cotton ball. You will get amazing results
