How to clean the exterior of an amp?


I was wondering if anyone can suggest a safe and effective way to clean the exterior of an amplifier. I recently bought a used Aragon amp which looks really old. Is there any way to get the look of a new amplifier. Thanks.

Ordinary window cleaner with ammonia works well. Splurge for Windex!

To actually polish chromed or painted surfaces use a clearcoat-safe car wax like Meguiar's Cleaner/Wax. Avoid grit-bearing cleaners like Brasso and silver polish unless you're in a hurry to see the metal underneath the finish.

For the most stubborn rust spots or when all else fails use 0000 steel wool and chase it with a coat of wax.

If you rub so hard a genie appears, wish for a new component!
