Cape Cod - Daytona

Good morning, guys. Today, I want to talk to you about the benefits of Cape Cod. A couple of guys here have asked me about its use and results, so I thought I’d write a short explanatory post.

First things first—what is Cape Cod? Simply put, it’s a product that consists of a polishing cloth used to restore metals with a mirror finish. When rubbed against the metal surface, Cape Cod removes material and evens out scratches until they disappear.

It’s important to note that it only works on mirror-polished surfaces. If used on brushed steel surfaces, like those of a Submariner, it will ruin the watch. So, reserve it for oyster bracelets like those on a Daytona or GMT, for example. Also, keep in mind that since it removes material, using it on gold-plated watches or bracelets will wear down the plating, so it’s not recommended.

Here are some images of its effect. The process basically involves covering the brushed surfaces to avoid damaging them and rubbing the polished surfaces until the scratches disappear. Feel free to ask any doubt, have a nice day!
