How to Polish Zildjian Titanium
Zildjian titanium cymbals have a brilliant finish that gives them a polished silver look as well as a unique tone. The titanium sounds much brighter than standard bronze cymbals. When a normal bronze cymbal becomes tarnished and dirty it can be cleaned using a cymbal cleaner that is essentially a bronze cleaner. Unfortunately this cleaner would damage the titanium finish; a plain wash with soap and water is recommended to avoid ruining the titanium cymbal.
