I've just returned from a trip in a very hot and dusty environment
and the exterior of my DSLR looks a little 'brown' yikes where dust and sweaty hands have mixed.

Anybody know a good way to clean it up please?

Soap, warm water, a j-cloth (but wrung out) and just clean away!

I wouldn't personally use any abrasive materials or cleaners on my camera.

I originally posted 'Jetwasher?' then deleted it as I thought it was unhelpful.

Steve's out-clevered us all. I just realised Bach's Toccata and Fugue is BWV 565... so without resorting to Google, HWV is Handel.






He was just a crank really.
