Has anyone any advice on cleaning the brushed metal panels on a beocenter 9000? I would like to clean them up a bit but am not sure what to use or how to go about it.

Hi, I personally don't know but I can recommend a previous thread which may be of interest to you:

Hi,

Thanks for that. I'll try windowcleaner - is only smudges as you say. Should work werll on the glass, too.

I use window cleaner (NOT the cream variety) on all the refurbs I do. Brings them up a treat including the glass. Don't put too much on or it will run into the electronics!

I cannot recommend the suggested "wet and dry" treatment. The 9000 has a genuine "brushed" finish rather than the more matt effect on models such as the 5500 series and you will never be able to reproduce it.

Thanks . Will do!

If the smudges turs out to be sticky, you can try with a little toothpaste in connection with a cloth and window cleaner.

Thanks all for the advice. I used window cleaner - astonished at the ampount of dirt that came out from the little crevices in the brushed aluminium! And the streaks which resulted - it kept me occupied for a surprising amount of time, but now looks ace.

Christian, I'll try the toothpaste tip on the windows of my narrow boat - they'd had "Sold" signs stuck up with selotape and which left marks not removeable with white spirit or window cleaner. Toothpast, being a mild abrasive, just might do it!

Thanks,

Toothpaste on glass is not a very good idea, tried in once on sunglasses with a bad result. But it works on hard (metal) surfaces both shiny, brushed and grinded.
