I have a question about the GGTS To My Friend edition. What is the best method to clean or polish the TMF? The CapeCod works perfect on my others GGTS but not in the TMF version.

Well I have no problem at all but because of lot of use and carrying on my pocket a lot with other items want to know the best way to clean it and if there is a way to get rid of the micro scratches without damage to the logo, serial and the lovely TMF. It has been a horse of work since day one.
Ipad2 camera sucks but here is a pic.

Last summer my GG and I went to San Juan and my GG got so tarnished I had a very hard time keeping it looking just fair. I Thought it was the sea air that caused it. Your looks better than mine did there.

Like I posted in another thread, I use 4/0 steel wool and Sharkhide polish. Any polishing you do on the serial numbers, logo, and TMF will only make it shallower. There's no way to unring a bell......
Hard to really tell in a flash pic, but here's one that had micro scratches from daily use, but steps were taken to protect the logo and numbers when it was new so when it came time to polish the rest of it those areas were still pristine. Polishing brought the rest of the GGTS back to match the logo area
Two more pics this time with the galaxy tab, sorry no better cam at this moment. I feel better now with your response so thanks.
Stormy I hope you enjoyed your stay here on the island. I know what you say about the sea air, where I live I dont have this problem.

Wish i knew this before my engravings vanished in to the oblivion
So...cover it when polishing? Or leave the engravings covered by tape at ALL times, to prevent tarnish from appearing? I really don't want to lose my engravings!

I've been considering taking my brass GGSlim, that is my main vape, to the jewelers and seeing if they can re-engrave the logo. It's just barely there now.
That is ok and worth a try, but I know what it is
and it's my first GG so wouldn't sell it......gonna keep mine as it is...

Thank you Imeo. I too lots of pictures of my GG in San Juan. San Juan and my GG are both beautiful. That is #! GGTStorm in the picture.
I am surprised it isnt cleaning up, I have used CapeCod on my TMF edition GGTS, with no issues, Make sure you buff off the residue left by the wet cloth....

the issue is that maybe Nandy left it too much time unshined and now its more dificult to do the job.
I got the same problem.
I ordered some Cape Cod Polishing Cloths, since the only thing we got within over 30 miles of my area is Never Dull, and I want to make sure to not ruin the engravings. I will just cover them with clear tape at all times like was suggested by Para.- Status
