I have two things to say to you Cape code and Sunshine polishing cloths!
Using these two,the cape cod once in a while and the sunshine once a week I keep my bracelet virtually swirl free! I think Breiting make the best bracelets out there, I love their style!
Question.
I know where to get Cape Cod cloths here in Australia (Peters of Kensigton for those that don't know), and I understand they are for taking out swirlies etc.
What are sunshine cloths? Are they what you would use on a daily basis for just taking finger prints / grease away?
Sunshine cloths are a mild abrasive cloth compared to cape cod, they don't in my experience take away larger swirlies but they do polish out the very fine scratches. I use the sunshine in combination with the cape cod. The sushine buffs to a nice high shine, I love them as a way of keeping a new appearence. I think if you are a careful owner and do not get major scratches then they are just fine for once a week use. I do recommend them but in truth they are not a replacement for cape cods! Oh yes, they are a dry cloth as well so not as messy!
I would not use them in the context of taking finger prints or grease, for that I use mild hand soap on a damp terry towl, wash the watch off and then rinse. I usually go over the watch with the sunshine first then give it a soap up and rinse, dry it off with a soft terry cloth the finish off with a microfiber cloth on the crystal and metal then a selvyt cloth as a final buff of the metal! I wear my watch every day and have done since getting it in september, following this method I have avoided anything major and you really have to look hard under intense light to see any marks!
