Hello! I have new vintage flip, RC 6030 B (red colour) interesting, I have never saw a 6030 in red. The problem is that it haves dirty numbers on hour and minutes, can you give me a solution for cleaning the leaves of my clock? Thank you in advance. I want to put some pictures, but I can not (to big for upload).

Hey RC6030! First, I'd hope you'd try to learn a method of resizing your pictures so that we can see them. Once you learn it, it's not hard. One free online program to do it is
The original FREE picture resize and crop tool since 2005! Resize, crop, compress, add effects to your images, photos, and screenshots for free!
Anyway, regarding what to use for cleaning the tiles. I've tries several things, water, soap and water, alcohol, windex, straight ammonia. In some cases, alcohol seemed to work best, but in others it started taking some of the white paint of the numbers off.
I've concluded the best bet is to start with distilled water and a Q-tip. This takes a good amount of time and sometimes you have to go over the tiles more than once. The problem is that at times the tiles will initially stick together. This stops as soon as the water dries.
Hope this helps!~ Mackey Site Administrator

That's very nice. I think I saw one just like that up on eBay! I almost bid on it!

Supposedly the enzymes in human saliva helps break down dirt and residue without being too harsh on the underlying paint.~ Mackey Site Administrator
