For brushed items, my favorite item is a fiberglass spot sanding pen found at most automotive supply places. Its tip is about 1/8th of an inche and you use it just as you would a pen and it is very precise. Makes short work of getting rid of scratches on most brushed finishes and it is very easy to make straight brushed lines.
I find these are good for very small areas. If you try using one of these for larger areas, it can look very uneven. I personally only ever use Scotchbrite as it blends things in nicely, but each to their own.
I agree, although I personaly have had great success with 600 to 1000 grit wet and dry sandpaper (the black sheets) for the larger jobs. The spot pen is great for bracelet links and bezels where the area is not too large. Given it is a pen I find it easier to "draw" a straight line repeatadly.
