Ive got a couple of very fine little scuffs on my watch and i was wondering if these will remove them? Also do you get a perfect flawless finish like when the watch is new with the cape cod cloths or will they leave very fine polishing marks? Is there any tips to using them other than dont touch the glass with them? The polished surfaces scratch very easily so im not sure if its a good thing to keep using them every time i find a little scuff mark as it might start removing some of the metal if the scuffs keep appearing in the same place. Thanks.

I spent 5 mins on the back of my TopTime the other night, didn't remove all the scratches but made a significant difference!

I'll let others more experienced answer your other questions but yea don't touch the glass, wear gloves and buff residue off afterwards.

That looks 100 times better. The problem i have is the watch is only 2 months old so if i keep polishing scratches off everytime i find one then im going to start removing to much metal and that will look even worse than the little scuffs.

If you do a search there are dozens of threads on cape cod (and sunshine) cloths and both work well. If you are worried that using them every couple of months is going to remove too much metal then you must be planning to keep the watch for several hundred years - that's about how long it will take to become a problem.
