This morning I did a quick clean of the platter, the cartridge mount end of the tonearm and the record weight. I found a long forgotten, unopened jar of Weiman wipes. I actually made a unexpected discovery late last night when I looked under my kitchen sink to get a dishwasher tablet. I was planning on going to the store today and getting one of the products recommended in this thread. I put them in a Note on my iPhone so I can have the list handy when I am at the store looking for S/S Polish / Cleaner. I made a list of all the recommendations I was given. When you use the term, "polish" it leads me to believe you are working with a smooth, shiny, mirror like surface.but I know that is not the case with plenty of audio gear.
Wenol and Simichrome come in a metal toothpaste type tube. Mothers comes in little screw top containers. If polishing is in order (rubbing to a mirror finish) I like Mothers Mag and Wheel polish, Wenol polish, and Simichrome polish. Spray on the rag, wipe down as needed, done.Īlways be very careful about getting cleaners on rubber, electrical, or other less durable components.
#Weiman stainless steel cleaner leaves streaks free
I like an amonia free glass cleaner (Sprayaway brand) for most of the routine work. Greasy items, or vintage items with cigarette residue (tar) take a different approach than just dust and fingerprints. The stuff being cleaned away makes a difference too. Get quality towels and wash them before first use for best results. Use good quality micro fiber towels too.the cheap versions leave behind very tiny particles of towel that is harder to remove than the fingerprints and other stuff you were trying to clean away. Some use an abrasive that will get into your TT components unless you hyper clean away all residue after polishing.įor instance, you may find an aerosol product that works great, but spraying it onto your system may prove troublesome, so spraying into a rag, then wiping things down, may be the method of choice. Some have oils and petrolium based products to give a better appearance and resistance to fingerprinting and such. There are many products out there for maintaining stainless steel but you have to be aware what is in the mix. Satin finish.brushed, sanded, or blasted? If satin, how smooth? Almost mirror, shiny but no reflection, relatively rough.įinish ually looks like a fine record groove.
