How often do I need to do this on a Yamaha 448G?

[EdwardsInstrumentCo]

As soon as your slide is sluggish and not performing as well as you would like.

Is there any reason why I should not wash my slide in the tub with dishwashing liquid and a plastic slide brush and between baths cheese cloth as shown in your video?

[EdwardsInstrumentCo]

If you clean your slide often with the cheese cloth it will reduce how often you bathe your slide.

Neat trick for hooking out stuck cheese-cloth:

Go down to your nearest cycle store and buy 2 spokes and one nipple. take some pliers and curl a handle into the head end of one of the spokes, then screw the threaded end into each end of the nipple. Now you have a long hooked rod with a handle. Stainless steel, so very strong. A nice hook at one end and @ 24" long. Perfect for the job. BUT when hooking that cloth, only turn it so as to tighten the spokes into the nipple or it'll undo itself...

What is the best substitute for Slide-O-Mix but not as quick to degrade like slide or rotor oil?

Thanks for the video.

Can you also put the glass cleaner or alcohol in the outer slide and then swab it out?
