Hi Chuck Plain old soap and water with a clean water rinse should do the trick, and maybe alcohol for the tough spots if needed. Clean and nothing else between...
No point in asking this question on an sct group. But, I'm sure this is the place to ask THIS question. Has anyone here used the 2" 4x Powermate? And, does it...
