20th owners, what do you use to clean pickup covers?

Hey, all.

What do those of you who own 20th Ann. Silos use to clean your pickup covers? Microfiber cloth? Some kind of cleaning agent? Just curious.

My EB polish cloth. And if needed - a little GHS guitar Gloss - or maybe try the new WW - haven't got any myself yet.

just a polish cloth

I would think the String Wonder Wipes would clean them well, though not polish or protect them. I use the remaining string wipe to clean my glass coffee table or TV, if the strings were only lightly played in last use. Streak free!

I wouldn't use a microfiber cloth, I think I remember a thread awhile back about them causing scratches on the finish. The pickups have a nice heavy coating of chrome on them, and mine seem to wipe clean with a regular polishing cloth just fine.

I used to use Simichrome on my LP pick-up covers when they would tarnish.

I use a combination of Ajax, gasoline and 80 grit sandpaper on mine.




Just kidding! I'm only a little ways away from affording my 20th!

micro fiber works great.........but make SURE it's clean & free of particles.
just like good sunglaasses

[Colin]

is it too late to say EB polish cloth?

 

[Spudmurphy]

I don't like using polish
Use a nice soft cloth and some elbow grease.

and some elbow grease.

Ewww. Is that like toe jam?

steel wool might work....
