What to clean audio equipment with?

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.

I second Autosports above for Endust for Electronics wipes, or the aerosol spray can which I have. I also use microfiber towels from Costco or Walmart to good effect.

Good luck,
