Decided to sell my crash cymbal recently...kaya lang merong mark yung top part ng cymbal dahil sa neoprene cymbal mutes na ginamit ko a few months ago. Ganun din yung hi hat ko. Didn't really bother to clean it when I discovered the stain dahil cosmetic lang naman problema. Pero since bebenta ko sinubukan ko linisin. ginawa kong guinea pig yung hihat ko since pareho lang condition. I tried tried a cymbal cleaner, no effect. I also tried applying acetone to a small portion of the affected area to see kung matatangal...same result. searched for other ways of cleaning. me nakita kong post about using lemons pang linis. I was hesistant at 1st..kung acetone nga hindi maalis yung dumi lemon pa? Pero swerte dahil meron lemon sa bahay. 2 lemons lang ginamit ko...cut in half...squeezed and collected the juice. yung lemon halves yung ginamit ko pang apply nung lemon juice. dinip ko yung isang half sa juice then ran it across the affected area. Tangal agad yung stain ilang pahid pa lang...kung gagawin nyo, check nyo din yung lemon half...palitan mo kung madumi na. Iwan nyo lang yung lemon for 5 to 10 mins. then rinse with warm water. Just repeat the cycle kung hindi ka satisfied sa resulta.
Just add salt...
Kung gusto nyo naman i accelerate yung aging ng cymbal mo haluan mo ng non-iodized salt yung lemon juice (not sure kung puede din iodized). haluin mo then apply mo sa surface ng cymbal. Let it sit longer...yung iba ata isang araw bago alisin yung solution. You'll see results quickly...meron daw lalabas na green spots sa surface a few hours after application.

instant patina. It should make your cymbal dry and dark. Puede nyo din subukan sa metal snare drum nyo. I'm just not sure kung same result sa lahat ng types ng metal
Ito yung before and after (available pa yan by the way hehe) --- both pics were taken only yesterday
