Polishing my Lux : What did I do / use?
1. Removed the end caps,
2. Cleaned the Alu-Bronze tube under running lukewarm water,
3. Rinsed it with regular dishwashing liquid and gently hand scrubbed,
4. Washed up and dried it with a paper towel,
5. Applied
Wright's Silver Cream and hand rubbed along the length of the tube (see note),
6. As it dried out, let it sit for a while (just about 5-6 minutes),
7. Then buffed all the cream off using a
Polishing Cloth,
8. Washed the tube under running water and dried it with a paper towel,
9. Now, used the same polishing cloth to buff it for shine (just about 5-6 minutes),
10. Then reassembled everything up and vaped to glory! Oh yes, clicked those pics as well
NOTE:
a) This was my first use of polish over the Lux.
b) For application of the cream no cloth, sponge etc. are required.
c) Remember to apply the polish in straight strokes along one direction. Preferably in length.
d) Avoid circular motions, b'coz that tends to drop-in micro scratches, which'd be visible later.
e) Avoid anything but a polishing cloth, or an old soft T-shirt. B'coz others will leave scratches.
f) Once polishing has be resorted to - maintain the sheen with regular dry buffing (just by polishing cloth).
g) Perform the after wash - b'coz that'd remove any contaminants, especially on the threads.
h) Use the polishing cloth inside the tube as well. Keeping the innards clean helps!
k) Don't use polish, alcohol, spirits, or any severe scrubbing on the Contacts (they've Gold over Silver, remember?).
l) I treat my Lux as a piece of jewellery. Take li'l care of it and it'd never fail... it cannot√
