What do you guys use to clean the platter on your CDJ's? I just want to get rid of the fingerprints and what not.

A duster.

Rubbing alcohol on a good paper towl. Gets all the oils your fingers leave plus any drops of liquor that may be on them.

Kinda iffy on this one. Don't really want any sort of liquids going on them.

Seriously, a good duster and nothing else is required!

Because a duster will remove fingerprints and smudges. :rolleyes:

Seriously, though. I've always sprayed a small, small amount of all-purpose cleaner on a good paper towel and then rubbed it gently. Works great, have had no problems.

Just buff it out with a paper-towel, no liquid cleaners or anything needed, it works for me.

And on this subject. I have a pair of CDJ 200's, and the platter is made of metal (at least i think it's metal). They look very worn out and dull. I was wondering if there's a way to make them shine? Or will doing anything to them at all damage them?

Thx.

Well, when I use a duster, fingerprints and smudges come right off. :conf:

Maybe the definition of a duster in the UK and US differs, but I can assure you that in the UK, a soft duster, with nothing but some uniform approach to cleaning and you'll have a shiny 'just out of the box' platter in no time.

EDIT: this is what we refer to as a duster in the UK

:wtf:
computer monitor wipes, windex on a paper towel, and qtips to clean the blood out of the slot loader.

rubbing alcohol is always a good go-to when it comes to electronics, the higher the alcohol percentage the better, i always have a bottle kicking around
