Anodised flashlights can be cleaned with a lightly damp cloth. If they are very greasy, use a cloth dampened with soapy water, followed by a cloth dampened with clean water. Avoid submerging the flashlight in water. If you do submerge it, do not operate the switch unless it is a diving flashlight.
If you mean de-anodising, here you can see how it is done with lye: https://www.reddit.com/r/flashlight/comments/10xl30k/deanodizing_a_flashlight/
Yes, thanks. I have been doing that for some time.
Is it true then that you did not use any polishing compound at all on that red light? Meaning that is just the stock finish cleaned as you mention above?
Whatever you did with it, the light looks very nice. I was just looking to duplicate that appearance on some of my lights.
Thanks. The light came out of the box (vacuum-packed) with a mirror-polished finish. I have Elsterglanz Bronze, Messing und Kupfer, but I was travelling and simply used toothpaste instead.
For the best results, I recommend using any good-quality copper or brass polish together with a clean microfibre cloth. Instead of water, I dilute the polishing compound with spirit (96% ethanol) rather than water.
