NEW DUST COVER CARE AND CLEANING


Howdy fellow turntables freaks,my dilemma is this,a little more than a year ago I purchased a Technics 1200G turntable. I have only cleaned it using a feather duster and never touching the plastic at all when opening or closing it.How do I clean it without putting micro swirl marks into the plastic,I'd love to hear about your cleaning methods-trying to maintain my perfect lid! Thanks

Brillianze Acrylic cleaner.  Available on amazon.  Used by museums for thier plexiglass display covers.  I have used it on a fine microfiber cloth for years on my acrylic TT covers with excellent results. 

It is more a question of your cleaning tools and techniques than product. Clean microfiber, straight lines, no circular motions. Just remove loose dust with a swiffer before anything. There’s a lot of info on cleaning plexiglass on the net. 

@2112oracle I don't have a dust cover on my turntable.  But for all other plexiglass products (screen in the car, plexiglass faceplate on the instrument cluster in the car, etc.) I use a product called Plexus.  It is made specifically for plexiglass and provides anti-static properties on the finished product, as well.  Available on Amazon.  Superior outcome to all other products of this category that I have tried.

As others have stated, use only with a clean microfiber cloth.  Clean cloth is the magic sauce for an excellent result.
