Your Alpha will develop character - as a good guitar does over time. Here are a few tips to keep the instrument clean:
Woodwork - Polish with a fine grade cutting agent, generally used in the car valeting industry (Not T-cut as it is too abrasive). Finish with Hand Glaze again used in Car Valeting. 3M is the brand we use.
Keys - Clean with a low % alcohol cleaner. Do not use house polish or water.
Plated parts - Polish with your breath and jeweler cleaning cloth or the cleaning cloth supplied with your Alpha.
Leather - We use the low % alcohol cleaner to wipe off marks but the key is you CANNOT rub hard as the leather will quickly damage under pressure. Leather is a natural material and therefore will become worn adding character over a period of time.
We use a clean cotton cloth in all cleaning apart from plated parts.
