Cleaning a Donnerbox

Postby musicsoma » Fri Oct 14, 2011 10:47 pm

Hey amigos,

I recently picked up a used BJFE pedal that could use some TLC. I don't want to ruin the paint, so I wonder if anyone could give me some basic advice on cleaning. What has worked for you all? Donner, any suggestions?

VERY carefully :pedallove

i use a very soft cloth, and maybe a little dish soap and water -- Goo Gone works good if you need to get rid of velcro adhesive, or other stuff that won't come off with soap and water.

just be careful, work slowly, and make them shine!

Thanks for the heads up. Yeah, it is just normal grime build up.
