I was in the process of cleaning my audio components and I am curious what other individuals like to use to clean their black or aluminium finished audio components

[srb]

I use a damp microfiber cloth followed by a dry microfiber cloth.
 
If it needs anything more than that, then I will dampen the cloth in mild dishsoap water.

I use Quick 'N Brite.  I have used it for years. Very gentle in diluted form.  Basically mix a teaspoon or so of the pink gel in a quart of water in a spray bottle by heating it in the microwave.  Costs about a dime for that quart and cleans most anything.

As I recall, Bryston uses windex to clean their gear prior to packing and shipping.

That's what I use. Works fine on aluminum or glass.

Robert, great cleaning cloth, that microfiber!  I use it around the house and on and in the car.  I probably have 4 or 5 different types/fiber length.
 
Besides, the ammonia in Windex and other ammonia-based cleaners is poisonous and can be highly irritating to the eyes, nose and lungs.

Where can you purchase this microfiber cloth and is there a trade name for it?

Thanks

Sometimes they bring in surplus stuff. If you get there at the right time you can find valued usable items at a reasonable low price. They even have an audio section!

I just got an email from TigerDirect, and one of the items they were selling was an LCD screen cleaning kit with some cleaning gel and a NanoFiber cloth.
 
Hey, I don't have any NANO Fiber!  I could be missing out on something.  I'll have to get back to you.

Robert, you and I are of one mind, but now we're just going back and forth here. 
 
Some people prefer a chemical cleaner (even if it's rather posionous) and some prefer a gentler natural method.
 
Some people prefer chemical-free natural foods.  Others could care less about chemicals and additives in their food.
 
Different strokes for different folks.  At least now they are aware that there is an alternative.
