I need to REALLY clean my block, its been about 6 months and there's stuff floating in my water from something... I saw what you used on your cleaning and it looks really nice, I'm wondering if I should use the same thing or if any copper cleaner/ tarnish remover works just the same. Do you have any ideas?

Damn, I'm jealous of that WW with copper top. Cathar, can I get one for as a Christmas present? If not, I'll pay for them.

oh man, tarn-x! i love that stuff
kill my blocks every few months with it
Used it on my friends ancient becooling block (not jagged edge, yes damn old) which happened to look more like brown and green then copper. The guy almost had a 'thermal' orgasm when he saw it. i recommend it to everyone!!

100 distilled water + zerex super coolant + uv dye... so that is why you see the zchip has some blue tarnish on the poly top...
