I use some very simple techniques to clean up the knobs. These knobs are chrome plated plastic and clean up very nicely with SOS pads. Many would think that these pads would scratch the knobs but they do not. In fact, they truly enhance the shine. I use the pad under some warm water to clean them up and give them a good shine. The toothpick & toothbrush are for removing residue on the areas where the knobs are handled. Then I rinse off the SOS soap and wash with regular dish washing detergent on a sponge. Then I dry them making sure that I blow some air into the area that pushes onto the volume and tuning shafts. Otherwise, the knob insert could rust onto the shaft. I use this cleanup method on both plastic and metal knobs. Pretty simple, right. My digital camera is not the best at closeup shots, but they did come out pretty nice.
