Why would you use a silver polish on a brass plating? No wonder its wearing out. Use a cleaner meant for brass. Because although its just a plating of brass its still brass. Brasso is one of them. As to how to get that back I am not sure. And the silver you see I believe is either a plating of nickel or its the steel underneath

Polish almost always removes a bit of metal. The main contacts you're concerned about are the battery contacts (qtip with alcohol) will usually do the trick. The button is the other but I have not see that mode so I don't know how easy that would be to clean. Don't put it in the toilet. Jez.

I have just gotten a couple mods myself. After searching around the forum, I see most people cleaning contacts with the highest isopropyl they can find. Here is a link for what I see most often.
Amazon.com: Swan Isopropyl Alcohol, 99%, Pint, 16 OZ: Health & Personal Care

Lol yeah I know I kinda treat it like crap because it's a clone and I bought it just to see if I liked mech mods

I also googled it while buying it and some one said it was fine to use it but I'm guessing who ever posted that was wrong lol

I just got a bigger container for my teeth and throw the mech in with them with an Efferdent tab every night.

Yeah, I like the Brasso on the finish.

I would recommend 99% iso for your contacts, etc. I would apply a dab of Noalox on the threads. I have a blog about this topic for a ProVari, but the same principles apply for the alcohol and Noalox, I would think.

Here is the link.

Take it apart, put it in a ultrasonic bath once a month. In between baths, can use sunshine cloth to wipe the exterior and interior (but not the contacts) and/or use Capecod cloths. As far as the silver-plated contacts, you can use a cloth specifically made for silver-plated jewelry to buff it, some say a pencil eraser or anything that is safe on silver-plated items. I use a cloth and vodka.
