Both my steels have the rollers on the C6 neck stained from my arm resting on the rollers when I play E9. What do you guys clean the aluminum with? I would like to get rid of the stain if possible.

On small items like that I like to use Eagle One Nevr-Dull wadding polish.

Remember to mask off the spaces between the fingers when you polish or sand the tops of the fingers! All polishes are abrasive, and you don't want to be putting abrasives and aluminum particles into the the changer.

California Custom Purple Polish. Get it at the Mack Truck dealer. Don't waste time with anything else!
