Polishing Tools

Polishing involves removing a small amount of metal to eliminate a scratch. We therefore always start with the gentlest method.

The Tools

Proxxon micro-tools, with their brushes and polishing tools, treat surfaces and crevices; Beco Technic compounds and stones are used for handwork; Cape Cod cloth revives a polish in a few passes.
