The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I have seen a few Pro II Divers that almost look glossy on other forums, the rubber strap part.
Was wondering what they applied on it? Have searched and found no answers.
Was curious if it would hide a light scuff as well.
It certainly is not horrible and I can live with it if need be.
Tried dish soap and water, and man the watch looks new, but when dried, this shows up on the rubber strap again.
Anyone else experienced this? Suggestions?
Thanks

Cape Cod cloth may help.

Not sure that Cape Cod is going to do much for rubber - it's a metal polish.

No idea on how to remove a rubber scuff though

Yeah, that's a live with it or spend $75 on new rubber pieces deal.

That is really what I was thinking. Its not too noticeable, but it kinda bugs me.

My bad. Misread the OP. This is the one instance where Cape Cod will NOT help.

Try using an ink eraser

Maybe try some Auto products, like the stuff used on Tyres or rubber trim to return them to black.

you might want to try Armorall

That'd be my suggestion too. Just be careful, it might end up making the whole thing a slippery, shiny mess.

Not a chance in hell I would wear Armorall on my wrist. That crap is greasy...and it stinks. Various manufacturers make special cleaner for rubber strap. Cartier does, for example.

I wasn't thinking that would be a good idea. A really good washing with soap and water, plain regular dawn with lemon, has made it almost disappear and tolerable

That's what I thought - you were looking to minimize the scuff, not get a mirror finish.

One time a car wash guy armoralled the leather seats in my truck when I wasn't looking. I was slipping and sliding, choking from the smell, and had the windows down in 110 degree heat. Who does that shit? Or aromrall the steering wheel? "Sorry officer, I tried to turn but Jose slicked up the wheel."
