I’m pretty much a “Copper Only” type of guy with my tube mods and know how to clean those setups well, I was just curious if I can use the same cleaning procedure on a Gold Colored Brass Tube.
I usually take a mild dish soap and give it a good brushing with a toothbrush, let it drip dry and then soak all components in white vinegar or alcohol for at least an hour, but if any of that will strip the gold coloring off. It’d be nice to know.
I don’t mind the patina look on my Copper Mods, but this Suicide King’s Purge Mod (Clone) is an instant head turner when it’s polished up really well and I’d like to keep that up.
Recommending pastes or products is all well and good, and I’m sure that’s best and will go and get some chemical cleaning agent to do the job...I just don’t want to run it through my usual gambit of cleaning tonight to realize I’d just stripped off the gold coloring and now simply have a brass tube.
Thanks in advance for any help/info!
Oh, and here is a pic of the mod currently...it used to be damn close to how nice and shiny the Drop RDA that’s on it is...that’s how I was able to tell it was cleaning time.
Do things by the book...just be sure that you are the author
