There's no affiliate links here. I just want to help other watch owners by showing a professional DIY alternative to Cape Cod wipes or Mothers mag polish. I haven't found anyone else on the internet post Dialux Apple Watch polishing photos, so I tagged these to appear with a Google search.
I usually opt for Stainless Steel watches over any other material or coated alloy because Stainless Steel can easily be restored after it inevitably scratches.
I opted for:
Stage 1 - Grey
Stage 2 - Orange
Stage 3 - Blue
Stage 4 - Green
The Orange isn't really needed. Grey, Blue, Green Dialux compounds with a Milwaukee M12 Rotary or Dremel will work great. Look at the chart below or lookup Dialux polishing tutorials on YouTube for more details of the different compound applications.
It took about 90 minutes with a single M12 charge. I used different buffing pads for each polish and cleaned the watch between stages.
