How to clean CDJ jog wheels?
I've been using new XDJ-1000 MK2s for a week now, and thanks to my extremely sweaty fingers, the jog wheels are now extremely dirty. I've tried to clean them using different dry or wet microfiber cloths, but it seems like the jogs particularly are very hard to get like new since they are not perfectly smooth (made of countless small rings, unlike the screen or my DJM metal plate). I only use the jog wheels to spinback and search in a track, so I didn't even use them that much (unlike a scratch DJ for instance). My nails are always short, but even still there seem to have a bunch of small scratches as well. I just bought a 3rd used XDJ yesterday and to my surprise the jog was almost mint even though it was used for 3 years by the previous owner (compared to my week old decks...). I usually try to take extreme care of my gear (I use decksavers and try to clean them weekly), but it seems like I did something wrong and I can't explain why. For the record, I attached a picture of one of my decks after trying to clean it with a microfiber cloth. It looks worse in the picture than what it actually is because of the light reflection but beside the micro-scratches, there seems to be a bunch of deep finger smudges I can't get rid of. Do you guys have any ideas? Thanks.
