Make you emax look like brand new....

Make you emax look like brand new....

Very easy... I just used ArmorAll silicon spray with UV protection. I was cleaning my car and I 
tried a bit on my Emax II and 3 weeks later it looks like right out of the box, I then did the 
same with the rest of my keyboards. Look like the Death Star in HD. =)

Hello vjrei,

sounds good ... at first sight. but are you / is it sure that this 
cleaning silicon spray has no long term impact for the printings 
on top of the body???

NEVER spray the Armor All into (or near) the switches or pots. Spray
into a rag or soft brush and wipe it on. First clean the unit with a
soft rag and water before applying the Armor All. 

Never have seen any tampo fade from this process on Emax 2. Looks great!

Well, is not that you are gonna give the Emax a bath, spray all over and use a towel to 
spread the silicon with common sense, I mean, be carefull with the LCD but the rest is just 
fine. The paint will sustain just fine, just like with your car dashboard, it is the same 
material.

I am a cleaner sick when it comes to keyboards, I hate to play keys with dust. I have the 
Emax II, a Roland JD 800, JV 90, D 50, A 90, Ensoniq ASR 88 and a Edirol PCR 80 
controller. I have and small one inch paint brush to remove the dust from the keys every 
day specially when talking on the phone.

I use to spray the keyboards with WD 80 and brush them, but the Emax is pure plastic and 
the silicon (specially that brand) was exellent. I was looking at one on ebay the other day 
and looked brand new, the black was really mate and then I did my test, it look just right 
out of the box except for the corny corners, for that I used a black marker.
