Finger Print Removal on Aluminum Faceplates

I like Windex if I don't want the piece shiny or Pledge if I do.....Normally like Windex better....

I also find Windex does a great job on most audio and video equipment. Just be sure you spray it on a soft 100% cotton cloth - an old cottom t-shirt does fine - and clean away. There are also some new microfiber cleaning cloths on the market now; and they might be a good choice to use with windex also.

I use a spray can of Endust for Electronics; it's a both great cleaner & static neutralizer. Spray some on a small swatch of blue lint-free paper towel & clean your faceplate &/or the whole component, exchanging to fresh sides or new pieces of towel as-required. It has not caused any problems at all with the silkscreening on my equipmnent. I also use this cleaning techinique when I'm cleaning up a component for resale, or when cleaning up something that I've bought which the previous owner had neglected to clean. My buyers are typically very pleased, even to the point that they may comment "this piece looks just like brand new".

I've used Caig Pro-Gold to clean some tough fingerprints off some RCA's. May be too harsh for your needs.

What a quick set of thoughts. Thanks for all that have contributed so far and encourage others that may have other ideas.
