How to clean your rolex?

[taxico]

Can share more???? Thanks.

cape code for a mirror polish. not suitable for certain areas on your watch. you will overlap for sure when you DIY, and ruin the brushed surfaces.

the most common use i have for it is to rub a new link with brushed sides into polished sides - even though i've been DIY'ing for many years, i still make mistakes. (but this is better than sandpapering as there is minimal grit produced.)

it cannot remove deep metal scratches, only very very shallow ones. i do not recommend it EVEN if you tape up the brushed surfaces with masking/duct tape (which is a b!tch to remove).

additionally, those scratches usually will "soften" (not eliminated) when cape cod is applied. this is not better (IMO) than the honest raw scratches.

for a proper job, you need a wheel or perhaps a dremel (!!!) with polishing tips. again, i recommend that you just leave it alone unless it's structurally important to rectify (eg, misshapen lug, deep gouge that is cutting into your flesh), and wait until it's time for a service or let the next owner decide.

i do not recommend any local polishers. if you dont want marks on your watch, leave it in the box.

For me,i used mama lemon detergent & hand rub before leaving it on running water then leave the watch to dry on my desk then use watch cloth to wipe it the next day

Exactly the same method

soak them in soda water will do the trick

its gimmick
rolex 904L stainless steel is premium anti-corrosion grade
confirm can tahan any household soap
if it is safe for your dishes and hands, its safe for rolex
btw i dont use brush on my watches, just soap and finger scrub will do

Good advice, i do exactly the same. Just hand soap and tap water. Then wipe dry with soft towel

My Sub has gone through thick and thin with me for 15yrs without a single service
Mud, sweat, water, soup, sand. No problem.

I just use water to rinse and clean my rolexes weekly. If got oily or water stains, then use a little soap to clean follow by rinsing it well under the tap. Dry with micro fibre cloth.

Thanks good information.

use soap powder n tap water, after rinse off use hair dryer to dry up excessive water on the watch n bracelet.

For quick job i use toothpaste (Double Mint) & baby soft tooth brush.

For thorough job & time luxury, i sonicate but only the bracelet. I only do once a year cuz need to borrow the Sonicate Washer frm my frd.
Now hardly sonicate them most of the watches now changed to Nato straps & all the bracelets keeping in good condition.

I use Cetaiphil (Clensing facial wash) and micro fiber / glasses cleaner once a month to clean up my GMT. Would using a soft bristle tooth brush scratch the polished part ?

[kelvin_koh]

Micro fiber cloth but no tooth brush.

strip everything, clean it with ultrasonic cleaner with a bit of handsoap !
