What's the best product to clean the metal shafts of joysticks? The sticks are a little sticky and have a little rust on them. What product(s) are safe to use on the shafts to clean as well as lubricate? BTW, they are 49 way sticks. |

I just cleaned/polished/de-oxidationized a whole bunch of Wico ball-top sticks with the following procedure: 1 - chuck up hidden part of stick shank in drill press, a few hundred RPM 2 - ultra fine Scotch-Brite on shaft & ball 3 - ethyl alcohol wipe with shop rag 4 - Simichrome chrome polish on shaft with shop rag 5 - Novus 3, then 2, then 1 on ball with microfiber cloth 6 - clean shaft & rag with microfiber cloth Sticks came out *GREAT* & shafts are once again shiny, & balls' scratches are gone or minimized & balls are super reflecty! -Jason |
