X-Metalhead
Curious: is the warm water/mild soap wash solution safe for the x-metals and their parts?
perfectly fine. ive dunked my xmetal juliet into the sink full of soapy warm water countless times for a wash. just rinse with fresh water afterwards and dry thoroughly.
Only frame i am wary of are the FMJ's and the Plasma finishes on Xmetals. Those i make sure everything is perfectly dry by towelling down and also blowdrying every bit fo the frame, inc the screw holes etc. Careful not to burn/warp your lenses when you do that though.
i guess just remember that for both frames and lenses, a quick bath in warm soapy water and being perfectly clean afterwards is a billion times better than leaving it oily and grimy - thats how your lenses start peeling, paint starts flaking, and rubbers start deteriorating.
