I have a Regal RC-55 and it gets dirty looking real quick. If I can’t figure out a way to keep it clean I am going to relic it! https://www.resohangout.com/forum/attachment_manager/a_mngr_content.asp#:~:text=%C2%A0

My chrome plater recommended ammonia-free glass cleaner for nickel-plated surfaces, and I’ve had excellent results with it. I used it on a nickel-plated guitar I owned. I’d lightly spray it on a soft cloth, and fingerprints and tarnishing disappeared easily.

Thanks! This thing shows every little thing. Normally I wouldn’t care that much but it’s like a black car; best looking color clean, worst looking color dirty!

Learned a long time ago that playing is not real,thick.

Aggressive cleaners will damage it.

Yes, the ammonia-free glass cleaner does a wonderful job without leaving a “greasy” residue or requiring you to spend the next five hours buffing and cleaning.
