What's the difference between the Kennedy and the Kennedy Trickester?
- Thread starter TrackDay
- Start date
The trickster has adjustable airflow, the regular Kennedy doesn't.

Used my own advice and got me a trickster too, just a clone though (since it's not my birthday).
Just a friendly advice, if you don't like constant cleaning and polishing get a SS one.

I was going to pick up the brass. How much cleaning is required to keep it in good shape? How often would you clean it? I can pick up the SS one from another supplier for $10 extra.
when using mine, I do a scrub every week with a toothbrush & some Wright's Copper Cream and then into the ultrasonic for a couple cycles

Cheers. Found some Wrights Copper Cream on ebay in Australia so I'll definitely be picking some of that up. But unfortunately I don't have an ultra sonic cleaner.

Also found this so I might give this a try seeing as it's designed specifically for brass: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Wrights-...511308?hash=item2a71102a8c:g:Qn4AAOSwCGVX3rZz
if you were getting the regular one, I'd point to CompLyfe's Gremlin cap for the 24 (since Kennedy doesn't seem to want to make one)

Yeah, expensive as hell. Comes to $34 USD. I'm sure the bottle will last me ages though.
frankly, just look for something else that is a food safe brass cleaner. Honestly have no clue what is available there

Found this at a local supermarket chain: https://www.woolworths.com.au/Shop/...are?name=brasso-polish-metal&productId=114785
Looks like I'll be going that route seeing as it's only $9 a bottle.
It won't oxidize as fast but it will still oxidize. Even when I'm not using it, I still polish it though every 2-3 weeks if it's sitting there. Brass and copper is a commitment

Being ammonia based would that damage the RDA?
Ammonia being in that it's not good for you. You're better off using ketchup instead of that

That top cap is fucking BEAUTIFUL.. I just ordered two. One with side airflow and one without.
Yeah, wish I had the money for a red camo one. Didn't even know they were making one till yesterday

Every brass product I've ever owned ended up looking like it got ran over by a fucking car about one month in. Copper I can seem to keep fairly clean, but brass is terrible.
I use brasso from lowes. Its made for cleaning brass and copper.
