Fingerprints

Post by Paul Spafford »

Now that I’m finally playing my resonator more, my girlfriend has started noticing fingerprints on the steel bits. It hangs in our living room right beside my chair, so she sees it all the time when we’re sitting here chatting.

To her absolute credit, she asked me about how to clean it before attacking it with any noxious products. My response started with a shrug and morphed into "but I know who to ask!"

So, how do I keep my hubcap looking shiny?

One simple way is to wipe it off after playing, using a microfiber cloth.

That would work - I end to suggest microfiber polishing clothes these days, since they are so gentle on shiny finishes.
