How to clean zildjian planet z cymbals?

Answer 1

You can clean Planet Z cymbals with mild soap and warm water. Use a soft cloth so that you do not scratch the cymbals. Dampen the cloth, and gently clean the cymbals. Use a dry cloth to dry and polish them.

Answer 2

Zildjian Planet Z cymbals are made from a special formulaof bronze sheet metal containing copper, zinc, tin and a small amount of nickel silver. The brilliant finish that they are sold new with tends to get finger printed and tarnished fairly easily when handled. I have found that washing them with a mild detergent and warm water then cleaning them carefully with Zippo brand (cigarette) lighter fluid helps to keep them looking good, followed by a buffing with a soft cotton polishing cloth. Excellent sounding cymbals for the money, they are more of a practice cymbal but hold up well and cut through the stage volume of loud rock band without trouble.
