I've just noticed that the rear cover plate on my almost year old Devialet 240/250 is looking slightly tarnished. The always informative Devialet Website states "If marks or stains are persistent, you may want to use a soft cloth moistened with alcohol or a window cleaning product."

Now I have a bottle of Smirnoff in the fridge, but I guess that is not what Devialet mean when they refer to alcohol. (Cognac perhaps?)

Has anyone found a product that works particularly well for a bit of Devialet polishing, keeping everything nice and shiny?

I know this doesn't answer your question directly but when I traded in my old Linn Klimax boxes they had quite a few marks on them, in particular where I had stacked one box on top of the other.

I managed to rub them all out using good old fashioned vinegar and a soft cloth. They were pretty stubborn at first but all came out.

Otherwise you might want to try a more specific cleaner such as this (which also works very well):

And I use a micro fibre cloth to keep my remote looking sparkly!

Very interesting topic, as you CAN'T find any solution to clean the Devialets on the web… And when you ask La Maison, always the same answer : "hum, we use some specific products, but I have to ask our factory…" and never get answers… It's crazy, as it is the Devialet St-Graal secret !!!
Yes this is a really interesting problem with Devialet. Cleaning. I think that DPremier had better Color of chassis than new models. New color is so hard to keep it clean.
Since starting my career nearly 30 years ago which at the time seemed to involve doing a lot of cleaning of computers as opposed to programming them, I've always used a product called Foamclene from a company called AF. I realise some people are hesitant to use cleaners with a number of chemicals in which this possibly has but I've always found it incredibly effective and safe around electrical connections/components too.
Microfibre or decent lint-free cotton cloths are a must too.
Yes Rufus, I'm not sure what brand it was but when I was in the tv repair business we used a foam type cleaner. Just spray it on and watch the nicotine run down the tube. Sometimes got positive comments from clients who had never cleaned their tube that the picture was soo much better after the repair Wink

I like the idea of Cognac though; Nice bottle of Hennessy XO, trickle it on a warm Devialet and lick it off.... gotta go now; need to clean my amp!
Would love to know what to clean it with. Tried Windex (without ammonia), but not really happy. Rubbing alcohol?
is it not a "chrome" finish ? The logical cleaner would then surely be a proprietary "chrome cleaner" ? or not..............
Hi !

I have asked La Maison to know how to clean the Devialet… The support should answer me...

I can endorse this method. I use foamclene and an e-cloth glass polisher:
