Care and Maintenance 

Note:  Never apply liquid directly to the SXP2. 

Never use abrasives. 
Never rub in a circular motion. 

Cover 

The cover features a durable high quality powder coat finish.  To 
remove finger marks and dirt, lightly rub the surface with a soft 
cloth. 

If  the  dirt  is  not  removed,  dip  your  cloth  in  a  mild  solution  of 
soap and water, squeeze excess moisture from it and then gently 
reapply to the surface. 

Stubborn  dirt  may  be  removed  by  the  application  of  a  small 
quantity  of  isopropyl  alcohol,  applied  directly  to  the  cleaning 
cloth only, and reworking the effected area. 

Front Panel 

The SXP2 front panel features a high quality electroplate finish.  
Over time the surface  may retain  finger  marks and  may need to 
be cleaned to restore it to original condition. 

Regular Cleaning 

Gently wipe the front panel with a very clean cotton cloth.  Wipe 
across the surface and never in a circular motion. 

Removing Stubborn Marks 

Only  attempt  this  infrequently,  as  too  regular  or  vigorous 
application may damage the surface. 

Apply  a  small  quantity  of  any  car  polish  containing  carnauba 
wax to a very clean cotton cloth. 

Note:  The car polish must state “Safe for Clear Coats” as the polish 

will  therefore  contain  the  absolute  minimum  amount  of 
abrasive compound. 

 

Gently  wipe  over  the  front  panel  in  lateral  motion,  allow  to  dry 
then gently wipe off with a very clean cotton cloth.
