NEW DUST COVER CARE AND CLEANING


Howdy fellow turntables freaks,my dilemma is this,a little more than a year ago I purchased a Technics 1200G turntable. I have only cleaned it using a feather duster and never touching the plastic at all when opening or closing it.How do I clean it without putting micro swirl marks into the plastic,I'd love to hear about your cleaning methods-trying to maintain my perfect lid! Thanks

Eye glass cleaner is Isopropyl alcohol and distilled water. I bought a bottle of each and make my own. One ounce Iso to sixteen ounces distilled water.

All the best.

Brillianze Acrylic cleaner.  Available on amazon.  Used by museums for thier plexiglass display covers.  I have used it on a fine microfiber cloth for years on my acrylic TT covers with excellent results. 

It is more a question of your cleaning tools and techniques than product. Clean microfiber, straight lines, no circular motions. Just remove loose dust with a swiffer before anything. There’s a lot of info on cleaning plexiglass on the net. 

@2112oracle I don't have a dust cover on my turntable.  But for all other plexiglass products (screen in the car, plexiglass faceplate on the instrument cluster in the car, etc.) I use a product called Plexus.  It is made specifically for plexiglass and provides anti-static properties on the finished product, as well.  Available on Amazon.  Superior outcome to all other products of this category that I have tried.

As others have stated, use only with a clean microfiber cloth.  Clean cloth is the magic sauce for an excellent result.
