Hello all! Popping in for a lil maintenance advice. My cc is at its 8 months mark, and I was thinking of doing some serious maintenance to it. Specifically, the surface between the body and the top section. I've been diligent about cleaning and applying no ox it, but as with most metals, I can see that the surface has tarnished somewhat, and would like to clean it up.

The plan I have in mind is as follows:

- clean off all juice and no ox it residue using IPA
- use a dab of simichrome paste to polish up the surfaces
- clean off with IPA
- reapply a fresh coat of no ox it

I have a couple of questions:
- does it sound like a decently good idea?
- would IPA be a good solvent/cleaner to clean off both the no ox id and the simichrome? If not, would acetone be a good idea? My primary consideration would be to ensure that the solvent/cleaner itself wouldn't corrode/oxidize the surfaces after I cleaned it

You could add some renaissance wax to the outside of the mod to keep it cleaner longer.

Other than that and maybe some disassembly to get the real nasties out, you're spot on.

Bit of steel wool, 2 rubs and a quick exhale and good as new. But enough about me.

Acetone has an ability to melt plastic and that would worry me. IPA is alcohol i trust and not the India Pale Ale beer! I'm not sure i'd use No-Oxid between the surfaces - it's kind of thick for that? Nothing wrong with your plan other than that.

The no ox can be applied extremely thin. Nearly deoxit thin. Close enough you wouldn't notice a difference.

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

Just sayin'.

So, I ran over my 7075 CC with my truck. While taking the bed liner out of the truck, I put the CC in front of the rear wheel and promptly forgot about it. I removed the bed liner, pulled the truck up the driveway and noted a little "bump". Thankfully, it must have fallen over prior, saving the atty... I had no worries about the mod.
