Cleaning very dirty and discolored Zildjian cymbals 

out side on the driveway great idea scratch the whole cymbal another genus

I saw a tip to use Lysol toilet bowl cleaner. I tried it and it instantly restored the original brightness. Took minutes and they looked perfect.

I learned my lesson a long time ago about loaning out cymbals to friends .... No !

Nice job. Came out great but I think me and the buddy would have had some words!! LOL. We have scrubbed some from storage lockers. Not an easy chore.

I would take that friend to the Train Station

This video made my stomach turn! I think my buddy and I would have boxed it out 😂 the disrespect to those Zildjians :c

Great job of cleaning!!!

Your buddy ain't your buddy. I wouldn't loan him a busted garden hose😮

I would have instantly fired that "friend". I use barkeeper's friend on all of my traditional finish cymbals, too. It will remove the logos, but I don't give a shit about them. I'm not out to advertise for Zildjian, lol. For my brilliant finish cymbals, I use regular old turtle wax car finish polishing compound. Works great, but also eventually scrubs off the logos, for anyone who cares about that.

These look like the old Scimitar Bronze series that Zildjian put out in the 80's or 90's. These are student level cymbals and are not great quality to begin with. The level of discoloring on them is quite severe, but I don't think your buddy is 100% at fault for this. Maybe they were kept in a damp environment for some time.

Definitely was poured with lighter fluid and set on fire... 😂

The powder works,but it's abrasive. The cream works much better and requires less elbow Grease

Bro, please tell us your "buddy" is no longer your "buddy"!!

its defective they said they wont exchange them

mine are new and there all diffrent colors

Looks like you're buddy set them on fire to me dude.
