Best Way to Clean Slingerland Ribbed Aluminum Shell Last viewed: 12 hours ago

Posts: 282 Threads: 69

Figured it was best to start a new thread specific to my question. So, just wanted to know the best way to clean the aluminum shell without affecting the sheen level of the aluminum or making it uneven. I'm not going to use anything abrasive, so was planning to use Flitz to clean it up.

Is this was is recommended or is there something better?

Thanks. :D

I have used Meguirars metal polish on my aluminum snares and it does a great job.

Well, I have Flitz in the house as I've used it for cleaning many different metals. Have not tried Meguiars or Simichrome, but might give them a shot if Flitz doesn't do the job.

Thanks for the recommendations!:D
