what should be used to clean outside of equipment

[edkoz]

It's time to clean the outside of all my McIntosh equipment. Any suggestion for cleaning the glass and black painted metal of the McIntosh equipment? I remember Ivan had a recommendation but I can not find it.
Thanks Ed

I was told by McIntosh service to use Windex on exposed chassis of MC275 and on glass/chrome of C500.

Use a simple cleaning tissue for the outside if it's very dirty.
And never use something like a thinner for the inside of the glassplate....

Equally important to the cleaning solvent is the cleaning cloth. A baby diaper works well for me.

Preferably a clean one...

Best quality automotive microfiber cloth is what I use. If it’s good enough to be used on automotive clear coat paint without scratching, then it’s more than good enough for my gear which is not painted in gloss.

I use a rag made from a white cotton T shirt dampened with water.

I just use a slightly damp cotton or wool cloth. No cleaning solutions. I'm sure most cleaners should be fine but I'm paranoid so I only use water.

I use Sparkle Brand Purple Glass Cleaner that I spray on a Microfiber Cloth and wipe with great results.

I use glass cleaner. Spray on microfiber towel, Costco brand are fine. Spray on towel not directly on your equipment. Buff with a dry microfiber.
