Need tips for cleaning a Tek T5 aluminum reflector
 
Does anyone have any tips on cleaning a Tek T5 aluminum reflector? I have some salt water spray that seems to accumulate and never seems to wipe off.

i take mine off once a month and wipe it down with vinager and water.

Thanks, Starry! I've actually done that myself, but it seems like sometimes it needs a little more cleaning power.

dremel with polishing pad/disc

Dremel, eh?! I have one - I'll have to give it a shot. Does it dull the reflector at all?

just use a soft polishing pad it shouldnt dull it but polish it try a small area if your not happy with its progress then stop
