it Sure does, just be careful that it does not get onto the glass or brushed areas. It is great for removing small scratches..

To work on the bezel, fold the cloth to get a triangle shaped corner and use that on the bezel.
To work on the polished centre links, tape up the brushed sides. I'm not sure why we should avoid the glass area? |

+1!!! The black stuff you see on the cloth is metal, so don't over do it. Here's a suggestion that I've seen posted...
Wrap lens-cleaning tissue around a Q-tip, soak the tissue in Cape Cod "juice" and use it that way to minimize micro-scratches. (I just use a small piece of Cape Cod followed by a micro-fiber towel.)

Thank you guys so it would take out scratches on the Daytona bezel? Would it affect the black paint on the numbers

I wouldn't use Cape Cod on a 18kt Daytona bezel. Stainless steel is much more foregiving. The result I got using Cape Cod on my 18kt WG bezel resulted in a cloudy finish. I'll wait until I send it in for servicing before I try it again. Perhaps someone else has obtained better results.

Leave the watch be. Have it sorted during service ...

The bezel is a difficult area to do well. There are risks of overdoing a section and setting up a haze. You can accidentally swipe across an end link's brushed section. Masking is a pain but really is a must do. All this just to remove signs that you actually have a functioning tool watch?
I agree with those who say live and let live to the swirls and scratches until it is time to service it.

Funny how I saw this thread as I just polished my chocolate dial RG daytona with cape code polishing cloth. It works well on the polished areas, just don't use too much pressure and stay away from any brushed areas. It also leaves a dark residue that takes some elbow grease to fully clean off. Since I'm here anyway I mind as well ask this--is there a good method to restoring brushed surfaces if it was polished by mistake? I was using the cape cod cloth on the side of my daytona case back but accidentally polished the center which is a brushed surface (was watching tv and got distracted). Now my case back is half polish and half brushed lol. Or should I just wait to my service (which would be 2 or 3 years since watch is pretty new) and have RSC take care of it?

I picked up a couple Cape Cod Cloths before my LN came in and I've used it a couple times...It's not something I want to use regularly as I'm worried about too much that can happen...
Is it really metal that you see on the cloth? That seems a little wild to me. With watches that have brushed areas and polished areas, it's too easy for the liquid to spread and sit on the brushed areas...
