Reply to Cleaning & Detailing MIDI Controllers, CDJ's, Drum Machines, etc

Hey DJ TechTools,

Mark Quest here with a brand new thread just for you guys. Todays thread is about Cleaning & Detailing your Equipment and basically how to pimp up gear & keep it all looking fresh. So I have a few questions I'd like to ask you, The DJ TechTools Community

> OK, Firstly, How do you clean your controllers & whatever else you make sweet sonic lurve to What types of cloth & sprays are you using to clean your gear with & what are the pro's & con's of certain methods of cleaning jog-wheels, pitch-sliders/ faders & sticky buttons..

And,

> Secondly, any tips on detailing & cleaning the INSIDE of controllers to keep them at optimum performance? Anything that should be avoided at all costs & not messed with? I'm sure there's a heap of newbies & people that don't know much about electronics in general (myself included!) out there, who would love to know just a little bit more about basic electronics & how everything is working/ buzzing away in there.. Always good to get a thorough understanding of your machine so you know how to treat it better, kinda like your computer - there's certain things you just don't do to it or make it do, because you know it's fucking the CPU up, etc.. Same thing applies here

Any help will be muchly appreciated & I'll deposit the poster 5 Karma points for each tip
