    Default Annoying Fingermarks

    Sorry if this has been asked before. My cymbals arnt really very dirty but have irritating finger marks on them. Does anyone have any idea as to how to get rid of them. Should i polish the cymbals, wash them or something else?

    Why don't you try wearing some type of gloves? Or do you also get them when doing cymbal chokes?

    I take care of finger prints with Sabian cymbal cleaner that comes in a spray bottle. just take a rag a spray a little cleaner on the cymbal and wipe off, works great!

    Hey Stan , just be careful when cleaning . Depending on what you're cleaning them with may remove the logo off the cymbals .

    Brilliant finish cymbals especially attract alot of fingerprints, but the advice above is good, a mild cleaner and a rag should do the trick. Try using a more natural cleaner and avoid using anything with harsh chemicals.

    The Sabian cleaner I use ia for my brilliant finish A customs and it doesn't strip the logo's but I have never really scrubbed that area.

    I actually spray mine with Windex and wipe it off thoroughly, and it seems to work pretty well.

    I'll log in for the counter point here -- I do not clean my cymbals. I use Eagle 1 nano wax on my drums, and leave the cymbals alone. Some people (like me) prefer to let their cymbals age naturally, so I don't touch them, other than to dust off the cymbals on my practice kit with a soft microfiber cloth.
