can anyone give me some advice on the best way to clean a C.M. 1.2m dish face without damaging it(brillo,chemicals ect ect) and is there someone who can source/make a CM logo sticker for the dish?,thanks
 
I should use a generic All-Purpose Cleaning liquid like Flash.
 
I use kitchen sponge and also detergent for dishes (SAT antenna is also the dish :)). Make lots of foam and water. I am not sure if there is some special liquid for CM antennas. :-doh
Is your dish very dirty? Could you show some picture?
 
i use kitchen surface surface cleaner with bleach in it and a stiff brush
 
Fairy liquid; soft and gentle on your dishes, lol :)

Brush and sugar soap.
 
Use a pressure washer ?

As long as it's not too high pressure should be fine.

I'd still recommend something like Flash All-Purpose .............. and an old Toothbrush will help get into the nooks and crannies.

Do it several times, that will help for sure :-lol. Nice dish BTW.
 
No problem mate.

Use transparent vinyl for the white areas, they look right that way.

A small amount of Vanish in some warm water and leave for about an hour on the surface, then rinse off
 
Try the special cleaning fluids used for cleaning the exterior of Camper Vans ......should clean your Dish up like new.......The Dirt will just fall off...and won't damage the original finish.....!!.......
 
ive just been quoted £75 for 6 stickers lol i nearly fell off my chair!!!
 
I know - I thought they'd be far more expensive than that! :lol:
 
Mrs pm. has decided shes going to have a go at making the cm logo out of sticky back plastic, she has a machine which cuts out shapes. i found some of cuts of plastic sheet on eb*y for a couple of pounds which are now in the post, will let you know how she gets on.
