Marine supply stores? What is it intended use?
Marine supply stores? What is it intended use?
Thats the way, uh huh, uh huh, I like it.
Don't know if the first reply went thru but,Flitz is used for cleaning& polishing the metal on boats.
Oh ok, so it's basically a chrome cleaner?
Thats the way, uh huh, uh huh, I like it.
It's really a metal polish for almost any metal .
ok.... I use turtle wax chrome polish, brasso, and some wadding polish stuff that I don't remember the name of. 2slow mentioned some stuff that really seemed to work on his cymbals, but I don't remember what it is.
Thats the way, uh huh, uh huh, I like it.
Kry, I tried them all, this was told to me by a old drummer and I found that the cymbals were like mirrors.
well.... we're landlocked, so we have no marine supply stores, but I'll see if I can find it. Thanks
Thats the way, uh huh, uh huh, I like it.
We have some around here Kry. I have been using Brasso but I'll give this a shot. Let me know if you want some Kry and I can ship it to ya.

I use Groove Juice probably available at your local drum shop. Great stuff, works well on stands and hardware too.
Groove Juice is the same stuff as Kaboom that you buy at Wall Mart for a third of the price! so I am told anyway.
soap and water yaeeeeeehhh!

With soap and water, you better be absolutely certain to get them dry, or you rick the rust factor. Also soap and water won't do anything about the tarnish on the cymbal. For some the tarnish is no big deal, but to others, they want bright, and shiny!

I use the Sabian cleaner that is in a spray bottle. it works really well and does not strip your logos.
I really want this thing....But in my country it was a rare item ...I use the Sabian cleaner that is in a spray bottle. it works really well and does not strip your logos.

Hey guys whatever you use, make sure that it is not an abrasive, cause you can actually score the cymbal surface.
all the best...
I've heard that bar keepers friend cleanser really works well also on non polished cymbals. I've tried it on an old zildjian ride cymbal and I was pleased with the results.
never gave it much thought, as i like the sound of cymbals after a few years of no cleaning other than the ocational dusting. that was till i bought a pair of brilliant finish A customs. i've had em for about 6 or 8 months and it is time to clean em. i am going to just try the zildjian product that they recomend.
maple goodness......

Funky, that is the same stuff as the Sabian cleaner that I mentioned earlier. The music store where I live sells Sabian cymbals so that is all they stock. The Zildian stuff will not tarnish the brilliant polish on the A Customs. I have A customs as well, and it will leave your logos intact.
i usually go to the hardware store and use Nevr-Dull. its good stuff
