Update to my first try at brushed (satin) finis

Big thanks to the guys that took the time to post an answer. Worked out GREAT. First I 'experimented' on an old ESQ that wouldn't sell on ePray or anywhere - it WAS polished - not anymore!! Then I moved to my wife's Tag Heuer band that is brushed and polished - looks great almost like new....well it looks alot better anyway.

Then I got the ball$ to move to my SM GMT. First I started with the clasp (rubber strap with deployant). Had 2 really deep scratches that I had to use 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper on then hit it with a green 3M pad - looks terrific. I then touched up the lugs.

So - thanks again. Saved me BIG time and money.

Oh, sorry no pics - my CF card took a crap while taking the photos...have to get a new one.
