Faceplate Cleaning

[Russ_L]

Hi all- I'll try to get the ball rolling.

I'm the owner of an A308cr pre and A308cr amp. Over the years, the face plates, around the input select buttons, and the on/off buttons, have become stained. I guess from the oil on my fingers.

Could anyone suggest the optimum way to clean the stains? All else about the two units is a 10. :T

Thanks in advance.

I use DeOxit. Spray on a soft rag, and wipe the faceplate. Wipe off the excess with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, and buff.

The faceplates of these pieces, between 35 and 38 years old, were cleaned with DeOxit:

never used deoxit but sure looks like does the job. something will keep in mind for those stubborn stains.

I've always used a product called mr sheen

it does clean very well removing grime and leaves a nice clean look/sheen to whatever it cleans. but not sure if something available where you are

I never considered using DeOxit either. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give the DeOxit a try. Will try to post the before and after.
