can any give any advice on how to clean watch hands...can you use to clean parts...i have a beautiful ranger with a great dial and and case...but the hands are rotted, i guess that what it is oxidation...does anyone have a good method for cleaning hands...also a rub or polish with adbrasive properties....sorry if these questions are to general but i figure things like this can help other up and coming watchmakers/hobbist
Plastx from Autozone cheap and verry fine abrasive can use on crystal or cases...I use tarnx on the hands...

In reply to thank you shooter...i just by Ellierose
I use it by hand and with a buffing wheel on a dremel and my small jewelers buffer. Bought the small buffer for like $40 on the bay, pretty stout little machine with variable speed as well !!! www.wellandcanal.ca/salties/lykes/ashleylykes/lykes.htm Uses popular 5 in or smaller wheels with .5 in or less arbor hole ( 4in seems to be most popular avail from most jewelry supply houses like Otto Frei ) It works really well so far on cases and crystals.
