That Copper does look awesome

Correct. Not purple.Not purple?
Not gray. Not black. Not white. Not anything except brushed aluminum.
As far as I can tell, its appearance has not changed at all since I got it, roughly a month ago.
I've done nothing to it except put a coat of Renaissance Wax on it when I first got it, and vape it.
Conclusion: If you want something that stays looking spiffy with minimal effort, get 7075.
Quick question. I feel like this has been mentioned a couple of times but I also have the memory of a goldfish
For the Renaissance wax, would I have to use a specific polishing cloth to apply it, or could I use a simple microfiber sorta cloth? Also do you clean off the residual wax after?
I'm also assuming that it's used only for the body of the mod; and deoxit gold for the contacts and where top piece of the mod joints the body

Microfiber works perfectly. Just rub it in, and buff it off. And correct, Deoxit on just the contacts and top rim of the body.
You guys gotta understand something about those pics... The patina only looks brightly colored like that when the light hits it at a certain angle. I'll try to get a more realistically representative picture of it tomorrow.
Corey, you sure you didn't clear anodize my 7075?
I swear, mine just gets shinier the more I handle it. My old 6061 is damn near polished, at this point...
Sounds just like what I tell the women I meet.

I wonder if it's a body chemistry thing? I seem to recall some people have reported graying of their aluminum CeeCees with use.
I'm still baffled why my Copper stays bright coppery looking in those places where it regularly comes into contact with my skin, but no amount of rubbing it with the same fingers in the areas where it does patina has much of an effect on the patina....
I think you nailed it, with the body chemistry bit. I think with 7075, the more acidic your bc is, the more likely it is to darken in the areas that are in contact with your skin the most.
Rossum.....the petina thing you've got going is really an interesting phenomena I can't explain it.....but very cool!!

Hey, goofy!
Right now we're looking at 2 to 3 months. Just let me know if you'd like a spot on the list.

I like the 2nd one from the right.
Just seems to stick out from the others, could just be the bold print ?

I don't know... that one on the right looks a little shinier than the others
Classic case of "my kid is better than yours" [emoji317]

Except wiping it I haven't done one bit of maintenance on my brass CC since I got it, just let nature do its thing. And I think I will only do some serious cleaning when I get a large scratch. The patina does a good job covering up the small rifts. It looks classy, a classier custom classic. 
As for cleaning the battery/squonk hole the maintenance kit for my shotguns works well with that woolly thingy attached to the end of the cleaning rod. 12 gauge is just a tad wider than 18mm.
