This vid and part 1 have given me the best cymbal maintenance education- ever! Most of my Paistes are still within stage one and two condition. I have one 14" 505 that's definitely stage three. The 505 combined with a 3000 sound edge (in pretty crisp condition) make for a pretty nice, darkish sounding x-hat. Still, I want to shine up that 505 for presentation sake. Thanks to this vid, I'm able to do so with confidence. Thanks man!

I just got a used set of 2oo2 hihats. I cleaned around the logos to save them. I used Flitz in a tube. Worked great. I lacquer lots of brass instruments at work. I did not want to use brass lacquer as I believe from my research that polyurethane resists scratches better. So I used the same spin method to apply Minwax oil based poly to coat the top cymbal. It takes more that a day to dry. It looks great and appears like other Paistes where I can see the coating. I could have thinned it slightly, but the research indicated that the dried film thickness would be less than 1 mil or .0005" to .001" thousands of an inch. Thinning it may have decreased this thickness slightly. I did not feel that it affected the sound very much if at all. In any case, I can always remove it. Your material is probably acrylic lacquer if it dries that rapidly. I have also used acrylic floor wax. Not as durable for abrasion. Dries very fast. I will continue my experiments. Oh, after the polishing with Flitz. I used very war m water and Dawn to decrease. Lac thinner is a great degreaser, too. Keep it away from logos!

Thanks! Great information! I will try coating my next cymbal with out thinning out the lacquer.

Back in April I polished a small spot on my late 90s B8 Pros, that many years ago I had used some solvent on to removed the clear coat. I then applied Minwax pastewax to the polished are, let it dry, and buffed away the excess. After a few months of no visible tarnish, I stuck my thumb right in the center of the waxed area to see what would happen. As of a few days ago the area has a light thumbprint, much like you'd see on any newer cymbal that had been handled. This has led me to believe that pastewax is a viable protective solution for freshly polished cymbals. I haven't tested the durability of a waxed cymbal under normal use, but I think it will wear similar to a factory clear coat.

Very informative. Thank You. I’ve used bar keepers on my Zildjian years ago but not on my prized Paiste Sound Formula. Do you have a recommendation for those? Still some clear coat but not shiny enough. Thanks

Barkeepers works well if you dilute it and don't rub it in very much, just let it sit for a few minutes and then wash it off.

What type of cloth or paper towels do you use to get best results for cleaning? Thanks!
@thetype857 ай бұрын
I use regular old paper towels, the stronger the better! I also use an old cotton pillowcase torn up into pieces to apply the lacquer.

Any tips on cleaning a traditional pAiSTe?

Try wiping on some Barkeepers with the cymbal wet, the water will help dilute it. Don't rub the Barkeepers too much, let it sit for a minute then wash it off with soap and water.
