Cape Cod Cloth Story
I tried out Cape Cod Polishing Clothes for the first time to help out a nasty scratch I picked up on the bezel of my Seiko Alpinist, and thought I'd pass on a little of the experience for those maybe on the fence about trying them out.
My Alpinist white-dial is the dressy watch in my watchbox and often I wear it in more formal or dressy situations. At some point though, the beautiful high-polished bezel picked up a nasty scratch.
Usually, I don't care, but since this is more or less my version of a dress watch that I only occasionally wear, I try to keep it in good condition.
I've heard of cape cod Cloths but never used them. A few dollars and a day later Amazon dropped off a pack.
These work like magic! After only a couple minutes of polishing with a 1cm square I cut off the 2 large cloths I immediately saw improvement.
Maybe another minute of gentle polishing and final buffing with a soft cloth (a kiwi show polishing cloth), it is all but gone.
Only if the light hits it a certain way and mostly because I know where to look can you see the faintest of scratches.
Better results then I could have hoped for!
Key takeaways:
Be gentle!
Polish and buff repeatedly
A little goes a long way
I'd wholeheartedly recommend these if you have a nasty scratch you're looking to eliminate or reduce in appearance.
I hope this helps those on the fence about using this product.
Not a collector; an enthusiast :-)
I had similar results on the case of my Stienhart. Don’t know how I got the scratch on it but now it’s hardly noticeable. Love the Alpinist 👍
Wow, that’s great! Thank you for sharing!

Fantastic!
I'm 100% bought into these cloths for keeping those few I'd like to stay polished up for sure!
Wow, that’s great! Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure!
I've found a lot of mixed results when researching these. I think the key is to go gentle and stepwise. Polish-buff-observe and repeat as needed. With how fast this worked I can see it going too far, too fast, too easily...
