Hello,
I used a damp cloth to clean fron mesh and it caused rust in time.
I wonder if delicately wiping it with cloth with WD-40 applied would make rust less visible to eye or at least prevent further rusting?
Or maybe use sewing machine oil? Will doing this make front mesh a magnet for dust?
Thanks

Take the front cover off, clean it and spray paint it. Anything like wd40 or oil will as you said hold dust.

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.

Clean it with IPA (isopropyl alcohol) or a foam cleaner like Ambersil Amberclens and a stiff brush - you can use some black shoe polish refresh the mesh

I have some IPA. Maybe I can dab it on a clean cloth and wipe with it both sides of mesh. But since IPA evaporates fast would I have enough time to use stiff brush? I don't have locally foam cleaner you mentioned but maybe I can find solution with similar ingredients.
