Seeking Cab cleaning advice (GoofOff? WD40? Palmolive?)
cw:
Yall might try the "magic eraser" a new product from mr. clean.... does one heck of a job getting all the dirt and grime off of cps. It pulled all kinds of stuff off that other cleaners left behind.....

For rusty joystick shafts I just take them apart and chuck them in my drill press. (a regular drill will work too) then spin the stick while holding some 220 sandpaper lightly against the shaft. once the rust is gone I go to 400 grit paper, then a rag with car wax to polish it up and seal it. Works great, and makes the stick look NOS nice. You dont need a lot of drill speed here, and patience is the key to not screwing up the stick.

Thanks. I don't have a drill press but I've got a couple of variable speed power drills.
On another note, today I learned something else that I shouldn't do. While cleaning my coin boxes, I got 409 on the instructions/diagram/label sticker on the top. With just a little wiping, 409 will take the print right off that sticker. Not a huge deal, but annoying to me nonetheless :(

Here's a cleaning tip that I haven't seen mentioned in these forums thus far...
To remove adhesive residue, use lighter fluid (NOT butane).
I use it all the time when I buy used CDs from a local store and I want to get the price sticker glue off of the CD case.
The first time I saw lighter fluid used this way was to remove price stickers from cardboard action figure packages.
