Cleaning my Waterblock

[DarkArctic]

Hello. I was wondering what people used to clean their copper waterblocks, my brother managed to get his grubby hands on it and now it's all stained and "not-nice" looking. :mad:

I've tried regular rubbing alcohol but that doesn't seem to get fingerprints off. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
DarkArctic

goto a cooking store that sells NICE pots and pans (all-clad, calphalon, etc...) and ask them. there is this stuff i have back home for copper cookware.

you could use what they call brass-o you can find that at your local food store

Ok, I'll give that stuff a try. Hopefully I can find a pot store (hehe, marijuana) in my small town. Thanks :D

Be careful. Some polishes might end up hurting heat transfer performance (if you're talking about the contact surface).

If you use Brasso, try and wash the leftover residue away. It leaves some sort of "protective" film. A RELLy fine grit automotive rubbing compound should work as well.

Actually I thought of that, I read the side of the can and it said that it'll leave a protective coat. I'm sitting there thinking, "Well I don't want that, jerks."

So now my mazes are all nice and shiny and ready to show off to all my friends. Thanks alot. :-)

i have this stuff called wright's copper polish. it works great and leaves a nice shine. I dont really know where it came from though. :)

Be careful, prolonged pot usage can lead to bain damage. I would not use a polish but rather a "dip". Use one of the products that you dip it in rather than rub it in. Wrights is a dip I believe. Brasso is not. :beer:
