Ooh! Nice and shiny.

Decided to give the sticks a clean today.
Carried out the usual method, warm water, nail brush to clean the grooves, then dry off with a dry towel.

Relatively pleased with that but felt the irons were lacking some sort of lustre.
Rooting around in the garage I found a tube of Solvol Autosol (metal cleaner). I used this regularly for polishing up chrome, brassware and stainless steel on my motorcycle and around the house.
Tried it on the clubs, wow!!! what a difference. A dull finish was replaced with a gleaming polished finish.

My irons now look pristine in the bag.

Anyone else use polishes to clean their clubs?

Usually just steep them in hot water and washing up liquid in the sink for half an hour them brush the grooves out with a wire brush and dry. Good as new. How do you get the polish out of the grooves, Basher?

I hope it is not too sunnywhen you play next time Basher

I used a dry nailbrush, worked perfectly.

madandra, generally my Mizzy irons are not too retina scorchingly bright, more a polished finish. I think I've restored them to a as new condition now.
Struggled with my sand wedge, the sand appears to have "shot blasted" a dull finish. Still, it's a lot better than was.

I use 1200 wet and dry on my irons every 6-8 months to remove and chinks or scuffs. It requires elbow greese but the results are worth the efoort.

Will that worked on forged irons, Andy?

Have you tried the "cleanstrike" wipes from AG?

They state that they remove dirt & grass from the clubface and grooves, clean your ball, your shaft and hozel and rejuvenate your grips.
Not tried them myself but if they're that good then new club sales hould drop

It sounds a great idea. Isn't Autosol a 'cutting' compound like T-Cut though?

My irons have a white painted line in the bottom groove of the face. Might be a little worried that it would remove that (still - can't be anymore agressive than a toothbrush which I use already). Overall an excellent idea and up there with some of the best one ive heard on here. Will dig some out and give it a go. Cheers

I did mine yesterday, using Vanish soap and a nailbrush, and they have come up a treat.

Autosol is ok but not too often as it is abrasive so be especially careful on forged clubs!!

 

[redmike]

I use car shampoo in warm water on my clubs, after someone on here recommended it and said not to use washing up liquid as it cab rot the glue in clubs. Brings them up a treat

 

[madandra]

John, I would be careful using wet and dry on forged c,ubs as I think it would make the chrome finish look scratched.

 

[John_Findlay]

Cheers mate. I did wonder.
