MusicNomad Premium Cymbal Cleaner for Brilliant Finishes, 8 oz. (MN111)

Really good item. Brings to shine right out

My son is very thrilled with the difference it made on his old symbols. Now they match his new ones.

GENERAL CLEANING:You are going to need at least a towel per cymbal!! Depending on the size. Unless you regularly polish them. So, I started on my 12" Sabian crash. I added drops onto the cymbal and proceeded to wipe in a circular motion. I can FEEL the grime coming from the Cymbal. As I proceeded, I felt less resistance. That means it was removing the oxidation (I assume the black stuff that collects as you clean is oxidation). In any case, it was coming off. Then came the buffing using a clean towel, that proceeded to turn black as I buffed. So, after doing the top and bottom of the cymbal, it looked acceptable. The shine came through.LOGOs: I did work around the logos but tried directly over the logo. I didn't do any hard scrubbing over the logos, but it did seem to clean it without taking off the logo. So, you can use it there, just down scrub hard.STICK MARKS: Didn't quite clean the stick marks. Noticeably on the Hi Hats. I would've given it 5 stars if the stick marks came off. But, unfortunately, they didn't. And I made several passes.OVERALL: My fingers were black and grimy. I had to wash them between cleanings. I cut up a towel into 5in x 5in squares. Because using one big towel would just get messy. This allowed me to control the mess. You can wash the towels, but it was just easier to toss them. Let's see how, over time, if the finish will protect the cymbal from oxidizing again. At the time of this writing I did, 3 of the 8 cymbals I have. Phew!! It's a workout.

Cleans cymbals to a nice shine

I’m a freak about my cymbals. My touring sets are outfitted with Acustoms and Zcustoms and I always want them to shine in the stage lights. This stuff keeps them in that condition. Freaking pristine.However the real story is the cymbal in the pictures. The pictured cymbal is a very old cymbal. Was one of my first touring cymbals when I first got started so it’s nostalgic for me. I wanted to clean it up and as you can see from the half clean picture, it restores the crap out of cymbals lol. But beware!!! IT WILL REMOVE LOGOS. The bottle says if you care about them then clean around them. And you better live by that lol.

My item was good the packaging was horrible and the delivery driver just threw my item in front of my door, I'm not very satisfied.

I tried this once on my Sabian cymbals Zildjian cymbals. But it was hard to get off and I didn't like the results. The second time I used it I did something different. I shook the heck out of bottle, then put dots of it all around the surface of my cymbal. Use sparingly that is the secret, rub in around the cymbal but DO NOT let it stay on the cymbal long! The longer you leave it on the harder it takes to get it off! I use 3 microfiber cloths. One to take the first layer off. The second to get more off. And the third to buff! Worked great! They shine like crazy! And also, didn't' take my Sabian logo off my cymbals. You want to rub lightly on them. I have 3 Sabian and 2 Zildjian cymbals! I will definitely get some more of this! It was easy once I got the trick to it down pat. And the results were great! They look like new! P.S Once you rub it on your cymbals rub it off! Do not let it dry long! Or you will have lot of elbow grease getting it off. Alot of this goes a long way! Use sparingly!

I would not expect to achieve extremely blinding results but these are my cymbals after 1 use. I’ve owned all but one of these cymbals for about 20 years and only polished them once about 18 years ago with brasso. The results from using brasso was the removal of a lot of the logos so I only wiped them off since then. Needless to say my cymbals looked rough but after only 1 application this was my results and I’m very satisfied! I only used elbow grease and an old t-shirt, no power tools. I don’t believe this removed any more logos than the brasso already didn’t and I wasn’t trying to avoid them or take it easy on the locations that had any logos. I’m not worried about it since I’m fully aware of what I own and I’m not endorsed by any cymbal manufacturer. I’m more concerned with altering the sound or removing any metal or finish resulting in possibly making my cymbals In any way shape or form more brittle.
