Won't damage a sapphire crystal (although a cape cod is sometimes a good way to polish scuffs out of a mineral crystal), but it WILL damage the AR.

 

In general, keep it clear of the crystal - and don't over use it as they're fairly abrasive. I just use one occasionally to polish out the odd desk-diving scratch or scuff mark. The rest of the time just use a soft polishing cloth.

DO NOT get a Cape Cod Cloth anywhere near AR. The solvents alone will be the death of it, let alone the abrasive. You may as well polish a gold plate watch with it.

Cape Cods are great things to use a few times a year to keep a mirror shine on things or to remove scratches but for daily/weekly cleaning a microfibre cloth is your best bet.

Cape Cod is a good tool to detect non-genuine solid stainless steel stuff sold by OUR SO LOVELY GOOD TRUSTED DEALERS,

 

I love trusted dealers, :P

 

I use .45ACP caliber medecin, and I can fly tomorrow morning early in the Far East for a cleaning operation....

 

trusted dealers....

is that what this residue on the cloth is LoL.

 

I used some Cape Cod to get some scratches out of this clasp, but watch out how much elbow grease you put into into it unless you want it to get shiny.

If it gets too shiny we sell the buffing pad to restore the brushed finish too.

So does your local auto paint place.

is this a special pad to get a brushed finish?

 

or can you use the green pads for washing dishes?

are cape cods suitable for removing scratches from gold plated watches?

A Cape Cod would rmove the plating from a gold plated watch.

I use those soft 4 sided nail files (I steal them from my wife). Then I peel off the rough part (so it's more like a small strip of sand paper. I use the #4 then #5 on brushed SS and #6 then #7 then cape cod on the polished parts - comes out perfect each time.

The best pads to use are the one's we sell. They are a pad designed for cutting back automotive primer prior to topcoating. Most dish pads are too course or too fine (the non scratch ones).

 

NEVER, EVER use a CC cloth on gold (or silver) plate unless you want to remove it because it will!

Would love some info on the brand you use. Or are they all pretty much the same?

 

So where is the link for the official "Buffing pad" to get scratches out/etc?
