How should I clean the nikisil plating in the cylinder. I've seen you guys say a scoth brite pad works well, but what type of cleaner should I used and what type of cleanup do I need to do.
Thanks,
John

I use WD-40 and scotchbrite then wipe it down really good. If you use soap and water to clean it make sure you dry it quickly and put a film of oil (such as WD-40) inside the cylinder right away to prevent any oxidation of the surface.

My wife would totally freak out if I put parts in the dishwasher. It's hard enough to convince her that it is ok to put bearings in the freezer and cases in the oven.
