How To: Clean metal cone drivers

omarmipi · 12th December 2006, 03:03 PM

I received some Dayton RS225S in perfect mechanical shape but it looks like the drivers spent some time in a wood shop uncovered. What is the proper way to clean the metal cone without scratching/denting them? It also looks like there are some water? marks. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Microfibre cloth to remove the dust then another one with IPA on to mop up?
