What to clean audio equipment with?

Do not use Windex or any ammonia based product on anodized metal as it can cause permanent discolorations. I have had good luck with Sparkle Anti-Static Ergonomic Screen Cleaner (non-abrasive and ammonia-free) on my anodized equipment. I spray it on a lint free cloth or preferrably a micro fiber applicator pad for auto detailing and lightly wipe in areas with lettering or lightly rub in other areas without lettering. I do not spray any products directly on equipment. In between cleanings, dust with a micro cloth, which can be purchased at most stores selling auto accessories.

A few years ago I bought a CJ preamp with a silver faceplate that was stained.
I called CJ and the service tech said that they used Cinch brand liquid cleaner which is available at the grocery store. Since then I have cleaned all my metal gear regularly and had no problems at all with any side effects.

I use Pledge and a very soft fiber towel for waxing a car. A little goes a long way. Doent harm silcsceening and works geat on chrome. You only need a little otherwise you end up wiping more than you need to for picking up the excess

Hi, Have had great success useing 3in one oil on metal surfaces wiping with a soft tissue,it not only removes fingerprints but keeps them from returning. On other surfaces i've used Castle Plexo anti static plastic glass cleaner with no harm to the components. Hope this helps.
