Members goslats Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 No stains or heavy grime....just years of house or closet dust. Something that won't harm it or fade the grill cloth. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members codecontra Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 If it is just dust, I would use a damp rag on the tolex. Maybe some Armr All, but I personally think its a bit overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sleewell Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 grimey, beat up cabs have more mojo and have been scientifically proven to sound better. leave it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GRIMESPACE Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 A little Murphy's Oil Soap in warm water have done wonders on all the tolex cabs I've cleaned. I've heard so many horror stories in the past of Armor-All causing dashboards to crack that I wouldn't chance it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Miter Gauge Posted December 25, 2012 Members Share Posted December 25, 2012 I've used automotive products. vinyl cleaner (not protector) for the tolex. Use a small fingernail brush and scrub in little circles. For the grill cloth I use foaming automotive upholstry cleaner and use the same brush. The amps look like new when I'm finished.

Members Robson780 Posted December 25, 2012 Members Share Posted December 25, 2012 I wouldn't touch it. Once that dust settles on the tolex you risk blowing the output transformer if you disturb it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cap'n'crunch Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 Stop it with the Armor All. Thats stuff gives tolex a cheesy kind of shine that doesn't look natural. Okay if you want your amp to reflect light in a cool way.. Also that stuff stays slimey slippery for a couple of weeks after you use it and gets on yer hands. Not good. I would recommend NOT using it. I also would not recommend it for car dash boards either. Use simple green with soft bristle scrub brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
