Ummm, what does weekly maintenance look like?

Honestly, I just wipe mine with a slightly damp paper towel. I twist one up and jam it into the battery and bottle holes, with a good twisting action. That's really it for me. Of course, the only two I have are aluminum. one 6061, and one 7075. They are still bright and shiny on the inside, and under the caps. Mainly because I don't let any juice sit on the surface, inside or out.... EVER!

I hardly ever put anything on the contacts. A little de-oxit gold, or no-ox-id, every once in a while...

Spit in a tissue.

Little alcohol, little scotch brite/light sandpaper, little alcohol, light coat of no-ox-id, wipe away the excess, leaving a very thin layer on the surface, Bob=uncle.


ETA: The metal polish is a fine idea, as well.

Somebody called?

I roll up sum scotchbrite around a pencil to get at the bat & bottle holes

And that's on a good week

Actually, when I change batteries and top off juice, I do a quick wipe down of the top cap/body mating surface (rubbing alcohol and a qtip), hit the positive contact with the same and if it's been awhile I'll hit them with a light coat of no-ox.

Whassup Uncle Bob

i reckon steel wool trumps sandpaper, not least because i don't have much sandpaper and if HRH hits it with my 80 grit orbital sander, there will be tears.

Is it the cheap sparky titanium or some decent stuff Ross would know about?

i only ask because i heard 2 ........s salesmen at work today trying to sell aluminium flanges and they were trying their hardest to look all cocky about 6061 and 7076 grade metal, which went well as i vaped on some!

[custom-classic]

The Ti is 6AL-4V.


(the good stuff)...


Bob, my OLD friend........I'm afraid that the soonest I could possibly get you in the schedule would be.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................next week, sometime...


I know,...I know......seems like forever.....

Hang in 'ere, ol' Bob!

Give him a break, there's issues of life expectancy here too!

Not necessarily his either - those who have to endure the nagging say.

Hey, let's jus say I keep it interesting

 

[TheKiwi]

Welp. Thanks everyone for chiming in.

Ended up giving my cc a niceeeee scrub with the scotchbrite, some nice layers of Ren wax

I did end up cleaning up the cap/body surface with IPA, some simichrome and finally some no ox id.

The simichrome does an excellent job of really cleaning the surfaces up I must say!

The amount of maintenance I have to put into my SSCC is so low compared to my brass and aluminum CCs.

Just sayin'.

 

[Nautilusfan]

I'm real interested in seeing the maintenance difference in the aluminum and the Titanium
