Cleaning very dirty and discolored Zildjian cymbals

Показать описание

A buddy borrowed my drum set & cymbals awhile ago when I got them back the cymbals were very dirty and discolored to the point they looked black and burned. I tried cleaning them with no luck. So i saw others using Barkeepers Friend to clean their cymbals so I thought i would give it a shot.

I learned my lesson a long time ago about loaning out cymbals to friends .... No !

I saw a tip to use Lysol toilet bowl cleaner. I tried it and it instantly restored the original brightness. Took minutes and they looked perfect.

I would take that friend to the Train Station

Nice job. Came out great but I think me and the buddy would have had some words!! LOL. We have scrubbed some from storage lockers. Not an easy chore.

Your buddy ain't your buddy. I wouldn't loan him a busted garden hose😮

I would have instantly fired that "friend". I use barkeeper's friend on all of my traditional finish cymbals, too. It will remove the logos, but I don't give a shit about them. I'm not out to advertise for Zildjian, lol. For my brilliant finish cymbals, I use regular old turtle wax car finish polishing compound. Works great, but also eventually scrubs off the logos, for anyone who cares about that.

These look like the old Scimitar Bronze series that Zildjian put out in the 80's or 90's. These are student level cymbals and are not great quality to begin with. The level of discoloring on them is quite severe, but I don't think your buddy is 100% at fault for this. Maybe they were kept in a damp environment for some time.
