Bringing a Beta back to its original glory can be a labor of love. Using the proper cleaning supplies can make the experience easier, pleasurable and rewarding. In the external situations, such as we are discussing throughout this section, soap and water (used in moderation and with good judgment) can go along way to removing years of accumulation of dirt and debris. What the soap will not get the items above will, in most situations. Starting with the five containers, going left to right they are: head cleaner, formulated for use internally to remove petroleum based residue. It finds various applications externally in removing especially stubborn annoyances, such as tape, marker, adhesive and wax; to name a few. Next is a cleaner that gives new luster and shine to metal and plastic. Beside it is a fine scratch remover, which is to say it is good for removing fine scratches in paint and plastic. Next is a heavy scratch remover that takes all the strength you can muster to just pick it up! No wait...this is for the deep scratches in metal and plastic. It usually gets followed up with the fine scratch remover. The can in front is Naphtha and it is a great low-energy solvent that is safe on most paints and plastics. It will be used in similar situations to the head cleaner. The yellow square pads are rough woven cloth used to aggressively go after hard to clean build-up. The cotton in front left is to make miniature swabs with the tooth picks next to it. The tooth picks and the small wooden planks in front are for getting into tight spots. The cloth all the way to the right is a lint free buffing material especially manufactured for the painting industry. The three center items are triangular sponge blocks for soaping, cotton wads or rounds for general cleaning and cue tips for the same general thing. Armed with these various cleaning tools most Betas can't help but come out stunning. To go to the next page here. To go back to the previous page click here. ©Misterßetamax go to homepage
