[ARC5] ARC 5's and cleaning

[WA5CAB--- via ARC5]

Mike,

That should suffice for any -B models (plain aluminum finish).  However on 
any -A models (black wrinkle finish) I would personally finish up after the 
water-dampened cloth treatment has dried, with either a rag or folded paper 
towel moistened with WD-40.  This will (probably) remove a little more 
ancient dirt and usually after a few hours drying leaves the black wrinkle 
looking as good as new (except for scratches or peeling of course).  Unlike 
anything with silicone in it, if the buyer were to try some touch-up painting, it 
cleans off easily with the same moistened rag treatment but with paint 
thinner (AKA mineral spirits).
