bluejays Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Anyone had success in self cleaning their Yamada Burning Copper without harming the original color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Lam Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 What happen to your Yamada? I normally clean my with soap and water only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needmoregolf Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) cleaning with choji oil won't change the original finish. I've also used bar keepers friend and it takes the dull original burning copper finish to a more vibrant copper, then using your natural hand oils, you can get nice purple hues and eventually, it gets back to a darker patina and like the original yamada burning copper finish. the original almost has a mustardy dull finish which I don't prefer as I like my copper to have some sheen popping through here and there. I believe there was a thread floating around about this where I posted a pic of my putter after a bar keepers friend cleaning. I can also post a pic of its current state which has darkened up and patina'd quite nicely. Edited December 2, 2015 by needmoregolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLL33 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I'd second the use of Bar Keepers Friend. Easy to apply, works great. Can get it on Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejays Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Thank you guys. The putter is with some patina and looked aged, dull, so want to see if I can resume its original look, more lively and a bit towards the shinny. There are links that recommend to use soap, salt, friend lemon juice and /or vinegar. Quite interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needmoregolf Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 you want exactly what BKF will do then, so I'd suggest that as I know that won't cause any problems. the patina comes back quite fast if you just hold the putter head a lot, but the shiny purple hues burn through and it looks 10x better than that mustard dull original finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
