Cleaning S6 Surface

[priorytools]

Alright .
Our cleaner has cleaned the board surround with Mr Sheen or some such. .
There are now some tiny dots on the surface of the S6. .
I'm using a chamois tape head cleaner with some Servicol Foam cleanser on it to deal with it, but it's remarkably time consuming .
Anyone got any top tips ?

Nah . . my fault, I forgot to put the board cover on

Shiny smooth black surfaces. Finger print city! After a day of mixing this thing looks like I've been eating pizza.

The textured black side and back panels are not exactly easy to clean either, if vacuum isn't enough. Paper towel just shreds.

Well… the chamois tip tape head clearer was good for the fiddly bits between buttons, then
I used some sealed glasses cleaner wipes to do the majority of each strip. Much more efficient.

Sounds better than what I just tried, a set of pads and cleaner solution that came with my original TC6000 icon. That's worked well on the TC but it just turned S6 fingerprints into a smeary haze. When building Syncheck3's I cleaned the LCD displays with lint free tissues and a solution sold for cleaning spectacles. Worked very well. I know from that experience that paper towels can leave tiny scratches, so I haven't wanted to use them on S6 surface yet.

For the textured plastic sides and back I just tried Bona Laminate Floor Cleaner with their microfiber cleaning pad. Bona easily removed finger marks all over them left after jiggering the back pieces into position (the hardest part of S6 assembly!). Dry skin?? eeeww!

I use screen cleaner with microfibre cloth, works well. The S6 is definitely a fingerprint magnet.

And to be shocked to find fingerprints at areas where there's no faders/buttons/touchscreen...
