 (23 customer reviews)

Upton Studios LLC, a Conservation company that specializes in the conservation and restoration of finishes of 19th century lighting devices has used this non abrasive, low residue cleaner for many years with excellent resultz. "It is a staple in my choice of polishing cloths," quote Diane Upton-Hagan, owner, and Conservator of lighting devices for over 20 years.
However, this polish is unsutable for ormolu and faux ormolu finishes. These finishes are meant to maintain a matt appearence and Cape Cod is so good that it will reduce the original finish to an unintended shine.

I had a number of expensive watches, but I was wearing them less and less because the bands were looking worn. I tried to polish them with something around the house, but with mediocre results. I kept reading about the Cape Cod Polish on the Internet and gave it a shot. Brought all of my watches back to new condition by removing scratches and making the metal shine. Also worked great on my wife's jewelry.

The smell is pleasant. The polish is a little oily, so I use plastic gloves (not a big deal if you just want to use bare hands).

I use the pink, Cape Cod cloth to polish all around the watch and then a small Dremel with a polishing pad to really bring out the shine. I finish off with a stiff-bristle brush to get polish out of the nooks and crannies.

Highly recommended.

I use these to polish stainless steel and they work great. A few notes:

-they do have a strong (but pleasant) odor, so I recommend using them in a well-ventilated area
-use them on polished metal surfaces, NOT brushed metal surfaces. These cloths take off a fine layer of metal as you rub and can remove a brushed finish in no time.
-I recommend wearing plastic gloves when using them as the stuff in the cloth will get all over your hands which I'm not sure is a good thing

Easy to use, highly recommended.
