: New to forum. Have enjoyed all the advice. Any

: keep the matte finish. Thanks

Welcome! Congrats on your new SMP!

The subject of ridding clasp scratches has come up more than a few times..... Below is an exchange between John Rochowitz and me about this subject:

[Joey]: I believe that you can use Scotch-Brite pads to
get rid of scratches, but be warned, you
have to be extremely careful and only stroke
in one direction. I heard that it's pretty
easy to ruin the finish.

[John]: Joey's right. I would use the ScotchBrite pads on the CLASP ONLY, and stroke in one direction only applying very light pressure. The bracelet has both brushed and highly polished areas, and these areas are small and very close together. I would NEVER use this pad to polish the bracelet, since one little slip of the hand could end up doing more harm than good.
