how do you go about cleaning the face of your equipment?
most of my equipment has brushed aluminum face plates and some, my receiver especially, has some finger prints/oil stains on them...how do i clean it off and make it nice and shiny?
thanks,
rich

Endust makes a product specifically for electronics.

I just use a damp soft cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment.

Rubbing alcohol on a soft cloth works well. Alcohol will evaporate and will not damage your gear.
Angelo, have you tried the Endust stuff? Does it work?

Yes. I've used it for a long time to clean my HT electronics, computers, TVs and monitors. It works very well. It evaporates quickly and is nothing like traditional Endust; no residue.

The "electronics" Endust works great for me too.
No residue, picks up the dust, doesn't discolor the finishes. Metal or plastic.
I'll usually use a cheese cloth with Windex on the display windows to keep from scratching.

I also use the "Endust for Electronics." Works very well. I have some micro-fiber towels that I spray the solution on and then I gently wipe my components.

For metal surfaces, the alcohol will not do anything, but I was going to mention you should not use it liberally on all plastic parts. In most cases, it isn't a problem, but since I can't say that it is safe for everything, be careful with plastic parts, because it may not be compatible with ALL finishes and plastics | |
