Polishing with ScotchBrite Avery Burgundy 7447 links included

[LuminousMaximus]

When I became a member on this forum a year or so ago, I saw a link for using the Fine Burgundy Avery 7447 Pads to apply the matt finish part on our Rolex's...

After a reading and learning more on my own, I have found that the 7447 is equal to a, "0" on Steel wool, and the 7448 is equal to 00 Steel Wool and the 7445 is equal to 0000 which is really fine.

I will be acquiring these different pads and post the different finishes that each produces.

If anyone has first hand knowledge of any of these pads please post.

7447>>Click here<< Our very fine grade aluminum oxide abrasives cut fast and fine, leaving a smooth, finished surface. Suitable for use on a wide variety of materials such as wood, metal, plastics, ceramics, porcelain, glass, rubber, or composites, and for many different tasks, the performance of this pad is comparable to steel wool grade 0. However, unlike steel wool, Scotch-Brite™ 7447 PRO Hand Pads won’t rust after use, or create fine metal splinters.


7448 >>Click Here<<Unlike fine steel wool, Scotch-Brite PRO pads will never shred during use, rust after use, or leave fine metal splinters. The durable open-web construction is load resistant, offers long life and consistent abrasive action for cleaning, finishing, and buffing with no need to adjust, turnover, or continue the same project with a new pad. The pad gets into corners and works detailed surfaces without altering the dimensions of the base material.Performs like steel wool grade 00 without shredding, rusting, or splintering


7445 >>Click Here<<Convenient Alternative to Steel Wool
Designed to run cleaner and longer than steel wool, our 7445 pad yields results similar to steel wool grade 0000, minus the rust and tiny splinters. Scotch-Brite™ hand pads can be used right out of the box by hand.

Curious as to which pad most closely resembles the Rolex finish. And, are all Rolexmodels the same matt finish?

I did find out that the Avery 7447, if not used on your watch links, works great at removing years of use on your Stainless Steel sinks...

I've used the 7447 on the brushed finishes on my bracelets. work amazing. just make sure you take the bracelet of and go in smooth straight lines. As mentioned, also works great on kitchen sinks. Ive also used them to clean the lime stain lines in the toilet bowls at home. Do not recommend on stick free cooking ware as it will rub off the stick free coating.

Be sure to add scotchbrite 86 to your list....that also nearly replicates the brushed finish (I live right next to 3M/friends work there)

For what it's worth, I've done this several times on various vintage Seikos...cases and bracelets...with great results. BUT, I would never do it on a Rolex. Leave it to a Pro is my advice.
