Can You Clean Drum Cymbals With Tarn-x?

• #21

Has anyone ever tried toothpaste? I've never tried it on cymbals, but have had success using information technology on numerous other things.

Y'all would use a microabrasive in instances where a solvent doesn't "cutting information technology".

Toothpaste should piece of work as well as whatsoever microabrasive (baking soda).

Would recommend confronting ones containing peroxide... Using an oxidizer to remove an oxide layer makes no sense to me.... Similar trying to put out a fire with gasoline, or cure a hangover with a shot of tequila.

I'd be more curious to encounter if an ultrasonic cleaner worked without somehow altering the cymbal. They make those big ones for engine blocks....

That'south good to know. I almost desire to try it at present. Have some minty fresh cymbals!

Ultrasonic cleaner might work. I have a small one for jewelry and tattoo gun parts. It works fantastic for that stuff. It does pretty good on gun bolt faces too.

Why did you expect smoothen to clean?

IF y'all look on the back of a bottle of Zildjian polish, the outset word in the instructions--"CLEANS, polishes, etc."

Annihilation more to add together?

IF you look on the back of a bottle of Zildjian polish, the first discussion in the instructions--"CLEANS, polishes, etc."

Anything more to add?

It too says "brilliant finish" which a K most certainly is not.

"Cleans, polishes, and protects Zildjian brilliant finish cymbals in one piece of cake application. *Not for apply on traditional, patina, or natural finishes.* eight fl. oz/250 ml."

Information technology also says "vivid finish" which a K most certainly is not.

"Cleans, polishes, and protects Zildjian brilliant end cymbals in i piece of cake awarding. *Not for use on traditional, patina, or natural finishes.* 8 fl. oz/250 ml."

Did you read the whole thread? Doesn't look like information technology. Because you lot would have seen where I've already confessed to totally missing that. Only no, late to the game. . .just trolling are we?

You tin can continue posting your crap if you want. I'm blocking you now. Thanks, skilful twenty-four hour period to ya.

Eh, I like the patina, dirt, cigarette burns, bst, stick marks etc. on my xl year old pies.

If I put them there, that'south fine. If information technology's there considering I have endemic them for the concluding forty years, fine. Merely I bought some used cymbals and don't what the leftover funk, dna, spit, sweat, Whatever on them. ? Useless

First off, kpphoto, I was deterred past someone on a dissimilar site, and so the sponges never came into play.

And Peedy, if you roll upward an entire 6 posts, I explained myself. Certain I'm OCD, that's obvious. ?‍

Wipe them downwards with a clammy cloth and move on. But become the dust of. Sandpaper on a drill press that looks older than the cymbal is not the was.

Wipe them down with a clammy fabric and move on. Just get the dust of. Sandpaper on a drill printing that looks older than the cymbal is non the was.

I did a footling dish soap and warm water. This thread is a few months onetime. ?‍

I agree that cleaning and polishing cymbals is very disappointing. Hence, I never do this.
