Scotch-Brite (standard): amzn.to/3GWdlCq
Scotch-Brite (ultre-fine): amzn.to/3mqBhGc
Scratch Pens: amzn.to/3qlEIis
Super-fine steel wool: amzn.to/3JbXPUP
___
A viewer request! Which of these three options gets the best result? I try it out on a watch case, but I imagine the results will be applicable to any steel-based project!

Why are you working on top of broken glass?

@Daud76 3 года назад

I received a badly scratched bezel and case Tissot titanium Touch as part of a trade and bought a kitchen sponge at the supermarket and then pulled off the Scotchbrite. I spent hours on restoring the original brush finish and now happy to say the Tissot looks as good as new. 😍

I brushed the top of my Vostok 710 case and bracelet using Scotch-Brite pad. Got really even satin brushed results on both. Just apply even uni-directional brushing technique.

Two Part Suggestion: 1.) Brush in one direction only, and 2.) Start with the 3M pad, gently, then the pen insert(s).

Good video. You can matt the case of a watch using water sandpaper too . According to the finished you want to get...500, 800, 1000 and so on. In this way you can get defferent finishes. The most perfect finished you can get is, in my opinion, using the sandpaper in only one direction.

Thanks. I was trying to find which Scotchbrite to use for brushed metal watch case refinishing.

Gonna be doing that on the pixel 8 pro chrome edges.

Green scotch brite is the best, very difficult do damages also if you re not skilled! But i seen is better use that very slowly and lightly for more time than hardly and fastly for the better result ❤

yessss thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion!

Only go in one direction with the scotchbrite pad. You think you’re going in one line but you’re not. It’s impossible to do so that way. Go in one direction and your scratches will be consistent and uniform

Yelp, Scotch Brite pads are a builders best friend. Keep in mind, they come in different grits, Red, green, grey & white being the finest (1000)

@thedepartedmack1284 3 года назад

It looks great man! i'm going to go get some scotchbright for my Duro

@PattheMovies 3 года назад

Awesome! Let me know how it works out!

@thedepartedmack1284 3 года назад

@@PattheMovies I just tried it on an $11 Casio duro I got on sale at Walmart, and it looks amazing! I'm going to Scotch Brite my other two duros! Thank you so much for experimenting so I could learn

@ZaydDepaor 9 месяцев назад

wire wool might work or a rotary tool with wire brush attachment or sandpaper drum attachment. I much prefer the look of brushed steel.

@butts4653 Год назад

not sure why you'd be using a green scotch brite pad, as it's medium grit. Grey is the fine grit

@leath25 3 года назад

Just thinking if sandpaper 2 to 3000 grit would work the same ?maybe wet sand works on cars.

@PattheMovies 3 года назад

Worth a shot!

@ClockWorkJake Год назад

steel wool?

@CHUNKYNUGGET666 2 года назад

Gotta wet it and use soap 👍

@JH-ty3ic 3 года назад

I've seen a lot worse from a watch repair shop.

@imhereforthememes5063 Год назад

Matte finishes are hit or miss. It makes some jewelry classic, sophisticated, and modern looking. Some things look better shiny and some look better with matte fish. Gold necklaces and rings look great shiny, and gold bracelets look better matted. But stainless steel watches look the best shiny. I matted my Seiko Alpinist and it just looked even more awful.

@stevereid5944 6 месяцев назад

Hi , was thinking of brushing my baby alpinist , as it’s a bit too polished especially the bezel - do you have any photos of how yours turned out . Would be great to see.

@troynasello2085 3 года назад

Should try steel wool. It's like the scotch Brite but steel

@PattheMovies 3 года назад

As soon as I tried that brillo, I knew I should've grabbed steel wool to try instead. I still think the scotch brite might come out on top. It's not as abrasive, but that gives you a chance to "sneak up" on the look you're going for imo

@Amazon_Finds_2k 2 года назад

ahhahaha

@mreb7724 2 года назад

Scotchbrite then car abrasive polish. From car paint store

@erickm6134 3 года назад

Should have also tried steel wool.

@alexapuerta 2 года назад

He did. That's what the Brillo pad is. The problem is the Brillo isn't fine enough. Need steel wool in the 1-4 coarse range depending on the look.

@erickm6134 2 года назад

@@alexapuerta use triple zero or type 4 steel wool those fine and ultra fine for the steel bracelets. You can find them in hard ware store and even in hobby shops.

@alexapuerta 2 года назад

@@erickm6134I figured those would be too fine since they're for polishing.
