Safe cleaning of Vintage McIntosh chrome amps?


Just came across some vintage chrome McIntosh amps that are quite dirty. What are some suggested methods to clean the dirt/gunk from the chrome and not damage the silk screening? Then after cleaning, any suggestions for protection against the elements (ie wax)?

Thanks in advance..

Harley Davidson chrome cleaner worked wonders on my MX110. Didnt remove any of the silk screen. Try a dab on the rear first, lots of Qtips and wooden skewers work great for hard to reach places. Best of luck.
I used 0000 steel wool on mine and just did it around the silk screening, leaving those parts untouched. I think that is about as good as you can do. They shined up unbelievably considring how bad they looked! I guess you could wax afterwards but I didn't. Arthur
