Watches, especially those with steel straps and details in various materials, need specific care to maintain their luster. Polishing steel requires appropriate products to avoid damage and ensure professional results. In this article we will see how to use various, such as polishing abrasive pastes, to treat different parts of the watch, ensuring a flawless finish.

By using the right products, such as professional abrasive pastes for steel and plastic parts, it is possible to keep a watch in pristine condition. A careful approach to watch polishing ensures quality results and longer life of materials.

POLISHING THE STEEL CASE

To achieve a professional shine on the watch case, we recommend using a polishing abrasive paste such as the Metalbril Abrasive Paste from Atl Abrasives. This product is ideal for removing light scratches and restoring the metal’s original luster. Use a microfiber cloth and apply the product in circular motions, being careful not to damage other parts of the watch.

Practical advice:

• Do not overdo the frequency of polishing. Excessive or aggressive use can wear away the surface of the steel, especially in plated or specially coated cases.
• To avoid re-scratching the watch, it is helpful to store it in a special case or use protective cloths when it is not being worn.
• In cases where the watch is high in value or has deep scratches, it is always advisable to seek professional polishing from a professional.

CARE OF PLASTIC PARTS

Plastic parts of the clock can get scratched easily. In this case, you can use a specific paste to renew the plastic parts, such as META by Atl Abrasives, which removes surface scratches and oxidation, restoring the plastic.

POLISH THE STEEL STRAP

The steel strap requires the same attention as the case. Here, too, the polishing abrasive paste Metalbril is the best choice to remove scratches and restore shine. After polishing, a steel protector can be applied to prevent it from dulling over time.

Choosing Abrasive Paste
For the polishing stage, Metalbril polishing abrasive paste is particularly effective. This paste is specifically designed to work on steel surfaces, removing light scratches and signs of wear without being too aggressive. It should be applied with a microfiber or cotton cloth, working the product with circular motions and light pressure to avoid damaging the steel finish or creating new micro-abrasions.

Polishing Links
When polishing a steel watch band, it is important to pay attention to the different finishes of the links. Many straps have a combination of polished and satin-finished parts, and polishing should be adjusted accordingly:

• Shiny parts: Metalbril paste can be applied more vigorously on these parts to restore the original shine.
• Satin parts: To maintain the matte effect, special brushes or tools can be used to preserve the satin finish while avoiding over-polishing.

After Polishing with WAXEE
After polishing, it is advisable to apply a steel protector such as WAXEE, a super-polishing and protective paste. This product creates a barrier against oxidation and contact with elements that could dull the watchband over time, such as sweat, dust or moisture. WAXEE protectant should be applied evenly over the entire surface and allowed to dry completely to ensure lasting protection and a flawless shine.

Regular Maintenance
Polishing should not be done too often, as excessive use of abrasive paste could, in the long run, thin the surface layer of steel. However, keeping the watchband clean on a regular basis, using soft cloths and daily cleaning, will reduce the need for deep work, allowing the watchband to retain its shiny appearance longer.
