Hi guys, I treated myself to a new (to me) guitar just the other day and absolutely loving it. It needs restringing of course, so while i'm at it I wanted to do a bit of cleaning.
There's a little bit of light corrosion or oxidisation around the bushings / washers around the tuning posts, on the front of the headstock. They're Grover Deluxe tuners, presumably nickel?
What would be the best way to go about cleaning these, without damaging the finish? I was going to mask them with painters tape and give them a few wipes with WD-40 on an ear bud or something but thought I'd ask the collective first. I'm sure plenty of you guys have done this before! The closest I've come to this is chucking a Babicz bridge in some WD-40 for an hour to get rid of some similar oxidisation, but that was off the body at the time.
Edit: Excuse the dust, these are the sellers pictures!
