Rolex SS and Scotch Brite....how to and Pics Please

I have read here several times about people using scotch brite or super fine steel wool to very carefully..with the grain....polish out scratches from brushed SS like my Submariner. I just need to see a pic of the product and if I'm super lucky....a pic of the action in progress, or at least a "mock run". I have gotten alot of small scratches on my bracelet lately and I want to make it look new again without RSC's help...because it isn't that bad and it's only 4 months old . "bigTex" I think that's your screen name, you said you do this on a regular basis and have been pleased with the results.

Thanks in advance.

That was quite interesting. The friction lock on my clasp was non-existent, my AD even informed me they didn't know a remedy besides replacement. After years of dealing with it, I have a solution now, thanks.
