Fantastic! 15 years of blood, sweat, tears, splots of soup and other grime cleaned off easy-peasy! The spray smells great too. Thank you! Now I can practice those bloody Hanon studies again!

For more than 30 years my method has been prevention of dirt rather than a cure for it. So regular hand washing, clean habits, no smoking, no eating / drinking and making sure the room is kept free of dust where possible. Oh and never let other people use your stuff! I've stupidly used to allow people to pick up my guitars with freshly fitted new strings, and 10mins later those strings would be completely ruined and needed replacing with more new strings, plus there was often thick black dirt on the fretboard etc.

lowkey just an informercial for a spray cleaner. awesome lmao thanks for the tip :)

They say in Dune "Fear is the mind killer..." well I believe "Dust is the synth killer..." 1. Ensure all electronic equipment is covered up or squared away when not in use 2. Vacuum and dust workspace including wiping down all hard surfaces once a week (and ensure any clutter, stray cables, manuals etc all put away - places like this are especially bad for harbouring dust) 3. Gently use a soft haired paintbrush across the surface of your gear (especially good for mixers with hard to access areas around the pots and into grooves into which the sliders sit) 4. Then use a very very slightly dampened cotton lint free cloth to wipe down main synth or mixer areas (remembering to earth yourself if you are going to be wiping down anything with a metal surface to discharge any static build-up) 5. Use a dampened cloth for the keyboard and the shelf below the keys and then a cotton towel to dry 6. Remember to wipe down any exposed areas of keyboard stand and racking - these are easily forgotten and seem to be massive dust magnets 7. Every so often remember to give all cables, power leads and adaptors a wipe (obviously the largest build up of dust is going to be at floor level) I suggest all of the above is done with the power turned off and equipment disconnected from the mains outlet obviously. Happy days.

I watched this video about a week ago after finding your channel in my recommended, Amazon had a deal (2 can's for 18 bucks) going on so I decided to try it out for myself thinking if it didn't work as well as it seemed I could at least use it in my car. Well.... Yesterday I pulled everything out of my studio (including my very grimy Poly61) and my god most of my gear looks like I may have bought it brand new just recently or within a year or so of cleaning it!!!!! It works SO WELL!!!!!! I genuinely can not recommend it more. All of my stuff was luster-ish, definitely looks like it's been sitting out for the greater part of 30+ years (in the case of a couple of my drum machines probably smoked around) and now the colors are deep and rich, they feel smooth and fresh and new and there's no greasy residue or funky smell. It's going to be a go to in my studio from here on out and with two can's I'll be set for years!!!

I'd say I'm not too sure about using motorcycles stuff on synthesizer. Usually those are not intended for electronic devices where the motherboard might get damaged. I usually recommend more to clean with stuff like isopropyl alcohol or white vinegar

My secret weapon for everyday cleaning of my instruments is very simple. An old cotton cloth .. prefearble from an old bed sheet and just plain windows cleaner you buy in a store. I have yet to see any materieal that get damaged from it. It's great for cleaning just about everything on the outer of the instrument. Newer spray direct on the instrument. spray on the cloth and clean and dry it off with the cloth. works both for grime on the keys and the top of the instrument no matter if its plastic or metal. It doesn't do any damage to the text or other bad things. Only precaution is if your display don't use a protective plastic there used to be a warning for the early LCD monitors that using regular water on a cloth was prefeared as windows cleaner could react with the delicate display. Not sure about today, but I always just use not too hot water on my flatscreen anyway

Thanks for the video I been using this stuff on my bikes for 30 years. The smell brings nostalgia and joy. Now I can use it on my synths thanks!

Another great tip!!! I just ordered some... Thanks for all you do with your sharing all this!!! It is appreciated!!

Okay, I was sceptical as hell but I gave it a try today on a few older synths and the results were night and day. I had a lot of nasty residue on them from old foam that is turning to mush in the flight cases and this stuff just cleaned everything top to bottom. The only thing I did notice is that the "Yamaha" on the back of my DX7 started coming off but I think that has more to do with the elbow grease I had to put into it to turn it back to white from green. Probably used a lot more than I needed to on there, about half the can, but it was nasty. Now it looks practically new. Great tip.

I just ordered a pre owned Roland fa 06 and I’m anticipating I’m going to detail it when it arrives so this was really helpful because I have no clue

Thanks for the tip, I never would've thought of that.

I love you videos, your york on my old dreamed polysix (I went for a Cz-3000 cause of €) is amazing !

Don't know if you've heard this before, but you REALLY remind me of my old friend Bill Henderson, (from the band Chilliwack - Canada)

Great tip! I'm a former motorcyclist (20 years) and a synth musician, so I already knew about this spray but I didn't think to use it for synths! Good to know about this. I have a synthesizer I bought used from Reverb (an Access Indigo 2 Redback) and it has a light but persistent perfume scent, and it's gawd-awful. It's already giving me a headache and I've only had it out for about an hour. Granted, I have an incredible sense of smell. Would white vinegar or alcohol be advisable too? You're using the old detailer's trick of spraying the towel, not the surface. Good technique! Until I can get some Honda Spray Polish, I used a 50/50 mixture of medical-grade alcohol and distilled water. I wiped every surface with it, hoping I found most of the perfume molecules. I guess I can repeat the process until it stops smelling like some awful perfume. Curious, what about Honda Spray Polish makes this better than alcohol or vinegar? Either way, I'm gonna get some!

I think youtube is reading my mind. I was wondering exactly that.

Outstanding video Scott thank you.

I do not advise spraying anything wet or even using a wet cloth on any keyboard, unless it is taken apart from the other components. I used a wet towelette on my Roland JD-Xi one time, and it damn near ruined the play, stop and record button. I would advise using a Walmart microfiber towel. They are very cheap, and they clean the synth without any wetness. If you would use any wetness at all, only make it so that it isn't even damp, but a little dryer than damp, because it will get into and under the buttons and ruin your whole synth. Just a friendly reminder to everyone to not make the same mistake as me 🌗

Btw. Scott when we're talking about keeping our gear clean. You have a lot of covers for your gear, do you purchase those somewhere ? It's not always for those odd sized instruments or Items you can purchase a dust cover that is made specific for the Item at hand

Hey Scott, is there a particular towel or cloth you recommend for cleaning a synthesizer?

thank you scott💡( idea!). and for holding your door ajar long enough to show you are not being held prisoner in some bizzare synth sarchophigus of the 🪼HYDROSYNTH🪼 !! i love ya scottee, you do exist outside aswell. thanks for letting me hear what YOU have to say🦭

Excellent tip! Thank you.

Windex glass cleaner works good too, but this foam spray bike cleaner is better for sure

Is there any reason why this is better than good ole rubbing alcohol for synths?

Do you use air compressor regularly for keybed and physical buttons?? For keybed microfiber cloth +Just water is Best. Cleaners make White keys yellowish.

Nice, I've been using Cafiza which is a water based espresso machine detergent, just on a towel though. But non water cleaners are preferable around electronics.

Its wonderful for motorcycle helmets and face shields too

I've been looking for a product to improve the look of my synths (SY77, T3, D50, TS10, etc) for a while now. An apparently suitable product is finally proposed here, but it is not available in Europe (as far as I see). Damn. 😡

Hi Scott, Love the Channel. Question: What covers are you using to cover your Keybeds that I see in your video here? Which covers do you recommend for 61. 73 & 88 keys. Thx ElectricEddie 😎

Nice tip, thanks!

Wet microfiber towel with Dawn Power Wash rubbed in, then a dry microfiber towel.

Shame Yamaha didn't get something together like this, could cover their two of their biggest markets

I noticed that the hydrasynth deluxe keys are very prone to being scratched, will the polish get rid of the scratches?

Biker too! You need to get yourself to the Isle of Man TT ;-)

Thank you Scott. Unfortunately the link you gave leads to an unavailable product.

I bought it, I hope it doesn’t remove the lettering, and numbers, I might use it on my synthi, might.

There are two simple kinds of cleaning liquids: vinegar cleaner (for my synth) and alcohol (nail polish remover of girlfriends/wives). Cost a few cents, helps against every kind of dirt, and that's all I need in my whole household.

Have you ever used it on Tolex?

I have a Korg Polysix sitting for years now. It worked before I let my brother use it years ago. It powers up, but thats it. Sad.

How about deoxit d5 for electronics parts?

Hi Scott, what do you recommend for contact cleaners; I understand that there are different formulas, some for switches which are different for what to use with pots and/or sliders.

Order placed

What about WD-40? I have been using that for years on everything electronic

I have an ems synthi, not sure if im using it on that. Too scary, but ill use it on my s612

Hi, This is a crazy thing to ask you.I can get a killer deal on a MODX6 but the name MODX6 on the keyboard is scratched.I know it doesn't hurt the workings but it looks terrible.I emailed SYNTUAR they said the whole outer cover is $130.Is there a way for me to get a pro painter to repaint the name on or is it silk screened on?

I found a Yamaha pss-170 keyboard. The output stage is so dirty through the on board speaker and through the headphone jack.Any suggestions on how to get a cleaner output? All the capacitors seem fine no bloated caps. I did a complete tear down and cleaning. Also tried different voltages 9-12v on the wall warts. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I know it’s a cheap keyboard, but I’m running it through my Mpc sampler adding effects to spice up this mediocre keyboard.

Does that work on a key bed that has turned yellow? My sub37 keys have discoloured for some reason. I’m in a non smoking studio. Moog told me that it happens on this model.

Hi Scott, what about eg MODX with the matt finish?

Thanks for the video. I have a Korg Triton LE and almost an entire octave is dead. Do you think this product could help?

Nice tip! What stand do you use for this 3 synthesizers?

Hi, I have spelled a full cop hot coffee on the keys on my expensive keyboard, and after that it does not want to start. The whole keyboard is dead. Is it worth it to send it for repair, and if so can it be to expensive? or it's done?

Hi Scott! Amazing video. Quick question. I have an Arturia MatrixBrute and it has this rubber-ish knobs and sliders (not sure if you are familiar with them). The thing is that I feel like they've been getting stickier over time. Would you recommend this product to clean my MatrixBrute rubber knobs and sliders?

What are your thoughts around HONDA 08732-SCP00 Spray Cleaner and Polish cancer warning?

Too bad, this product is not sold in France 😟

Anyone know a uk equivalent?, eBay is asking £75 postage on a couple cans!!!
