I've used car wax years back with good results.Use one with the least amount of cleaner.That part is abrasive and might leave a haze,plus be careful with silk screening.I don't know the modern brands.Also,fingerprints!If you look at 60's chrome gear,you will see everyone's fingerprints etched in them.Don't over do the Deoxit.
Oxidation, how to prevent?
I will soon move to a hot and humid area.
Can afford to run AC all day long not to mention it's not green, like your expert opinions how to prevent it?
Some of my equipments have shinny chrome faces, can I use car wax on them to prevent oxidation? What about RCA or XLR jacks? I don't think I want to use wax there since it will degrade sound, what other options do I have? I can put covers on the unused plugs, but it's not air tight and will still degrade over time.
I often read cartridge suspensions will dry up over time especially in hot weather, does humidity helps or is it worse? Will I be better off storing unused cartridges in humidity & temp control vault?
