If you manage to get yourself a Kolinsky sable-hair brush (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolinsky_sable-hair_brush) that would be best. It is very soft and won't scratch already worn chrome and plastics.

Here (http://www.fineartmaterials.com.au/shopping/sable_kolinsky/547/1) is a supplier but most art stores should stock these.

Just go into any department store cosmetics section and look for makeup brushes. They also have useful stuff like files and nail varnish colours (chameleon colours even). If anyone asks just say this is for my gf :D

I use a micro fibre cloth and occasionally a soft toothbrush

Large paintbrushes work for me, as long as the bristles aren't to stiff.

Same as Zed. The hairs are soft enough to even brush dust away from chrome (just don't do it if its flaky!)

I use a microfiber cloth and lightly spray, a few squirts of water with a spray bottle on one end of the cloth "so" i can wipe over it again with the dry side.

anyway, I just became curious to ask this...:o:o
but, would a can of air work?

as i use this, to clean out the insides of my computer occasionally and curious to know "if" this is okay to use this if a bit left over?:confused:
