Other than the aftermarket BD tom mount and not seeing what mounts are on the toms, I would hope this was a low-ish price, for this wrap, so long as everything else is original. Are you the buyer?

Hey Bill,

I did buy this kit. I was originally looking to piece together a jellybean satin flame (yes you can make fun of me), but saw this one pop up and thought why not. I'm down in Florida and have only seen one Blue Satin Flame pop up on local listings...and I want something wackier.

I do plan on gigging and possibly touring with these, so if they get bumped a bit I won't lose my mind. I've been a little hesitant to play anything other than Vistalites live for their durability in and out of Florida humid weather.

I plan on cleaning them up so I'll be able to go through everything then. Do you have any recommendations for cleaning them?

The sizes are 22, 16, 13, 12.

Hey welcome to the crazy world of satin flame! That's a great deal! Hopefully the seller will be able to find the front rim and claws. As far as cleaning these, I found the advice from a thread here on VDF to use Scrubbing Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner. The stuff works amazingly well. Spray it on and wipe away with paper towels. I used Bounty for it's absorbency. For all the chrome I use a product called Top Brite Metal Polish. It's now my favorite metal polish of all time and I've used lots of others. A little bit goes a long way and it's easy to wipe away compared to many others. If you do a google search for "Top Brite" it'll come up. The "small shop owner starter pack" was the way to go for me. 12 tubes for under $40.

For the Scrubbing Bubbles I did this:

1) Remove all hardware

2) Plug the holes. I just balled up paper towels.

3) Spray Scrubbing Bubbles a section at a time between the lug holes. If there's

six lugs there'll be six sections, ten lugs ten sections etc. Let it sit until the bubbles settle down and wipe away with the paper towels until the section is dry. and go on to the next. You'll use lots of paper towels. As you're going along you'll want to pull the plugs from the holes since they'll absorb the bubbles. Once the area is sprayed there is no need for them to be there and will lessen the chance of the bubbles working their way into the wood.

You may want to leave everything open for a day or so just to make sure everything is dry.

Here's an example of my results. And yes, that's an ugly "factory" hole.
