Hi everyone

I need to clean heads on a Samsung SP0802N
Is there a prefered chemical to use?
Not sure if i should use Alcohol or something similar to give them a clean.

There is no situation where u should clean heads plus heads are too sensative to clean . Only thing i have done is clean platters .

Ok

What would be the best way to clean platters?

Cheers

yes , and one more thing alcohol cannot clean scratches on platters , it is
just used for finishing of the job after heads or platters have been changed to remove any fingerprints or any small particle that may have come during work .
