TBII Cleaning/Polishing

[weshardeniv]

What do you all use to clean/polish your TBII?

The one I purchased shows some wear on the outside part of the wrist on the band and am looking into getting it cleaned/buffed/polished etc.

Do you take it to a jeweler or diy?

Take some very fine steel wool to the band, it worked for me, made it look good as new.

First of you need to buy the following must have. Will update this post from time to time. This works for me everytime all the time but still let me be clear that your doing it at your own risk. This is a tried and tested DIY for MM bracelet links and TB2.
Things to buy.
1. 1,200 grit 3M automotive sandpaper(for deeper scratches)
2. 2k grit 3M sandpaper for superficial scratches.
3. Autosol polishing paste
4. Titanium wool steel for Tag heuer ( Can be bought in ebay)

I'm away again at work across Europe this week. I'll make a guide Sunday next week when I come back. Below are my old photos.

Basically you will be using the sandpaper to get rid of the deep and superficial scratches. Just use one direction in sanding and not against the grain. After that is polishing it with an autosol paste and wiping it off with tissue paper. Once you think its flawless do the final stage with a titanium steel wool. Hope that helps! Apologies, those are my last photos taken when I had a go with it. I'll make a proper one when I come back.
