Acquired this yesterday. Been sat in a garage for years & completely un-loved. Will be completely restored

Awesome, your bringing them back to life! I never understood instrument neglect! Restoration is looking great!

Coming along nicely now

What do you use to clean and polish wraps and hardware? My VP snare needs some love and I wanna clean it up the best I can.

Hey Mitch, not to hijack the thread, but my current view from my desk...

To initially clean I use Auto Glym Waterless Detailer then a process of Carnauba Wax & finishing off with a ceramic coating.

Awesome, man! Mine is currently set up in our basement, awaiting the second bass drum still haha. It's probably my favorite snare in my collection right now and ironically I paid the least for it: a measly $200 shipped. I'm going to be upgrading the strainer and possibly the hoops, but the badge and lugs need a good cleaning. I have some drum polish but I'm not sure if it'll discolor the wrap since it's intended to be used for lacquers. I have some automotive carnuba wax for the hardware, but not sure what the best method to actually clean it would be.

[melvinspeed]

I would wager if it's safe for lacquer, it'll be fine for a wrap.

From the thread title, I thought you were referring to this (website) Forum, as the title appropriately describes it as well. Nice job sprucing up the drums!

DAMN! Wish I could find a VP for $200. I've long considered buying one, but at the astronomically absurd prices they're going for these days ($700+), I'll more than contently wait.
