Cleaning the pickups

[solacematt]

Alrighty, so ever since I got my AP HB it's become my main making my HB Spruce my backup. I took it out of the case in light yesterday and noticed the pickups have lost their shine and look pretty oxodized. Does PRS recommend a specific product that's safe to clean them to get back to their shininess again?

This is from the PRS Tech Support page:

"We use a nickel/silver combination to plate our hardware. While this plating does not wear as well as chrome plating, the tonal qualities of nickel/silver are far superior. We have found that Blue Magic Liquid Metal Polish works very well in removing tarnish from our nickel hardware. Other mag wheel polishes also work well. These products can be found at most auto parts stores."

I use the small jar of the Blue Magic Paste for my pickups and apply with a old, worn out t-shirt(rag) A little goes a long way. It works perfectly. Others use other products. But we stick with the product PRS recommends.
