How to keep a mech firing like new?

[conanthewarrior]

Hello everyone, today I got a new mech, the COV Kindred V2, and forgot just how nice a brand new mech feels and fires.

I haven't really maintained my other 12 mechs due to the period I was ill, but would like to get them working like new again.

Obviously I will polish up the outsides of the mechs to get them shining, but then I have things like the threads, fire button and battery contact on my non hybrid mechs.

So, my question is how do I go about cleaning and maintaining a mech, and how often should this be done?

Go into detail of what your routine is cleaning a mech, so I know what to do to keep the threads super clean and the button firing like new.

Thank you all, Conan.

Well that will be good for the outsides, but whats the best routine to follow for things like the threads and battery contacts/fire contact?

I use it on threads too.

Oh OK, that is something I will order then.

I am going by your mech collection in the photos you have shown me, they all look brand new and I would like to be able to maintain mine like that as well

Well, I just use peek, cautionary tale, you'll end up black as f*ck with it.

That happened the other day when I used brasso on the Broadside- no idea what reaction happens but it turns the brown wadding black and also the black stuff covers your hands.
