Bracelet/case brushing

[Tippex]

Hi

When one is attempting to create or restore a brushed effect on a bracelet or case is the best result obtained by brushing over the previous brushing or is it better to polish it to a shiny finish first and then brush. Thanks in advance.

Not sure but I  would think that if the brushing is undamaged, then brushing over would be OK. If scratched, remove scratches and rebrush.  Someone with more experience will either confirm repudiate this.

I can confirm from my experience what @RichardHarris123 said, if light scratches then you can clear them with an appropriate grade scotchbrite. If heavier then you need to polish the deep scratches out then brush again from the start.
