Club cleaning

[Robo-l]

Hi

im fairly new to this forum and golf in general

i need to give my clubs a good clean and was wondering if there is any particular cleaning products that work well or if good old fairy liquid and hot water would do the job?

thanks

I go with fairly, warm water and a nail brush. Leave them to soak abit first and it seems to do the trick.

Fairy liquid and warm water is always a winner.

I usually give mine a blast with some AC-90 once a month.

I'd post a picture, but Imurg is keeping tabs :ears:

I think that is an extra one on the count even without the picture :rofl:

What finish are they?

I have chrome finished irons, and I SWEAR BY AUTOSOL!!!!!!

The stuff is just amazing, it lifts all the light scratches and dirt out of the soles of my irons, and makes them look new once again!

I have dug an old set of irons out of the shed that had seen better days, and these now look really nice, so im looking to sell them on!

What finish are they?

They are Taylor made RBZ iron so standard finish I guess

Im guessing you could probably get away with Autosol on the small chrome segment on the soles of your irons.

You can pick up a tube for a few quid on ebay.

Great, cheers

 

[rob_golf1]

No problemo.

Cue the soaring sales of Autosol....

I wish the wife would clean mine, fat chance, she won't even clean her own

I've probably said this a lot since I joined the forum, but you all need to get your hands on ASTONISH oven cleaner.

Google it. You'll get in in your local supermarket.

You're welcome.

Thanks, ill give it a go later today

any ideas on how to remove a little bit of rust on forged irons?

Re Rust, I've used a nylon pan scourer and a squirt of WD40 to get rid of surface rust before.

When I first had my MP32 irons there was a little surface rust.

Quick blast with AC90 and a nylon brush got it straight off.

As an aside. Do you use headcovers on your irons?

Oven cleaner is the last thing I'd use as golf clubs aren't the hardest alloy and you'd make them look amazing but take away surface finishes and even damage the grooves due to the abrasive nature of the chemicals in oven cleaner. They don't ask you to wear gloves for nothing.
If you're lifting scratches out??? then you're effectively removing all the metal down to the bottom of the scratch. and anything harsher than a soft cloth and soapy water, will damage the grooves, as many of these cleaning compounds are abrasives.
If you want them to look like newish then leave in warm (not hot) soapy water, use a soft bristled brush, leave to dry and use a gentle alloy polish, or wd40 to protect the metal.

This! :thup:

For awkward cavity backs I like to have a can of duster gas to hand. Helps remove grass etc that get's stuck in there and also blows water residue out
