Cleaning restoring PVD

[PeteM]

Hi Guys

I am sorry if this has been asked before I have tried searching here and elsewhere but cant seem to find the answer.

Can anybody suggest a way to restore and/or clean the PVD coating on a case?

1) without harming the coating

2) restoring the lustre or matt of the finish depending on the type of PVD

Thank you

I just searched the guys content since last year but could not see anything on PVD cleaning - Ti case cleaning, Oxidisation and creating the look of Tantulum was all I could see

So if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated

Thanks again F

Thanks D and W,

Do you mean just gently ? The reason I hadnt thought to use it was the thread, if you recall, that R did about using CC to distress a Getat PVD case. And consensus suggested the CC would change the look of the PVD coating depending on how hard you rubbed it.....

Yes but you don't have to be too gentle. You can't really rub off the PVD coat with a CC cloth. You can add a lustre that some think makes it look more original.

Thanks mate

But if I post it came off when I rubbed it... I dont want you editing your post :)

If it comes off it's not real PVD

It is the PVD coating done by Ajoesmith for the B&R 03 group buy. So as far as I am aware it is
