Hey guys

I was using a mech for about 2 weeks and it got patina pretty badly so i decided to polish it with copper polish,
I know for the outer body its ok to use polish after googling it but i cant find anything about the contacts it self
Most people say use eraser or alchole but since its copper i can use copper polish right?
I just cleaned the entire mod contacts and all with the polish just hope its ok
So i can do it next time too
It looks almost new and my contacts are super shiny too...

I tried googling it but cant rly find anyone using polish on the contacts thats why im worried now dont wanna ruin it..

Also i got copper polish my contacts are copper but the body is brass i guess copper polish works for brass too cause it worked lol,just hope i didnt screw up the contacts part

Yes, as you learned, you can use your polish on the contacts. Your contacts will be fine. Just make sure you wipe them clean after using the polish.

I do, and have used metal polish, for years with my mechs.

I've also cleaned them with alcohol. And using dish detergent (Dawn). In a pinch you can also use ketchup.

You DO NOT need specialized contact cleaner or dielectric grease to clean the contacts.
