Has anyone used one of these with any success?

Any before and after pics?

I'm thinking about getting one to work on some small scratches on my Steelfish. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Those would work fine. Keep in mind that removing scratches and scuffs from a brushed finish is really just "re" scatching the watch/bracelet in the factopry grain pattern.

If you want to save some money you can do like I have detailed in the "Hey all you brushed finish guys" thread I started. A green pot scrubber 20 or so strokes with the grain and SHAZAM, done. Do a search for the old thread and read up on it. A lot of people tried it after I posted my success and had great results. And the best part is that it cost me nothing! Even buying a pot scubber wouldn't run more than a dollar.

Hope this helps,

Scott

Thanks!

These fibreglass pen/brushes are great for small areas, so as you want to use them for small scratches they'll be absolutely ideal. For larger areas the results can look uneven with the pens, so you are best to use the green scouring pad instead, as BroncoSport suggests.
