Watch Polishing Materials
You need to choose the appropriate materials to ensure the task is completed correctly. You have a variety of choices such as cloths, polishing compounds, and buffing wheels to choose from.
For a timepiece that’s going to shine up real nice, a microfiber cloth or a cotton rag works the best. They’re gentle on the timepiece’s surface and prevents scratches. As for cleaning agents, you’ve got paste or liquid choices. Paste is great for a thorough cleaning, and liquid is more convenient to use and clean off. Make sure to acquire something that’s meant for stainless steel so you don’t damage the timepiece or its finish.
Watch Polishing Techniques
Have you gathered your materials all set? It’s time now to learn the correct way to do it. The usual method is to circle motions and use some pressure.
This spreads the stuff all over and assists in achieving the shine. Moving from side to side is good for getting those difficult to access areas. Use caution with pressure to keep the timepiece scratch-free. You should concentrate on one section at a time to ensure an even application and avoid overuse.
Watch Polishing Safety
Safety first when you’re polishing a stainless steel watch. Ensure your watch is clean and dry before you begin.
You will be able to see what you are doing and prevent any debris that could scratch the watch. And be cautious with these compounds and polishing wheels; they can harm you if they come into contact with your skin or enter your eyes. When using a buffing wheel, you must wear gloves and safety goggles to remain safe.
