Cleaning the Tommy Kaira Knob

Dragon_Ball_Z · 09-10-2015, 01:40 AM

How do you guys clean your TK knob? I don't want to mess up the finish on mine (when it needs cleaning). Any advice from members that have a knob is appreciated

wear gloves while driving

Honestly thinking possibly soap and water on a microfiber, but seeing if anyone polished theirs?

So you're asking if we polish our knobs?

You all should clear coat the knob.

Then clean it with whatever you like

jcosta79 · 09-10-2015, 07:46 AM

So we should put a protective covering over our knobs?

FairladyZ10PG · 09-10-2015, 12:26 PM

^not recommended lol takes away all the feelin'

Dragon_Ball_Z · 09-10-2015, 12:28 PM

So clear coat a really rare JDM piece? Lol, I'm thinking about just putting this damn thing in a baseball show case so it never has to be used. Smh

I've actually heard that the turtle yellows after awhile of use. Any experience with that?

-Raj

FairladyZ10PG · 09-10-2015, 01:08 PM

I've read that someone here mentioned that it turns copperish yellow after some use but others like terribleone mentioned that all is good

So I guess we'll find out soon enough lol
