Way to wash titanium?

Tonight I accidently left my Quark Ti AA Tactical in the side pocket of my pants when I threw them into the washing machine. My wife came home and asked me to look at something with my flashlight and in a panic I couldn't find it and I came to the sad conclusion that I had put it in the wash. I ran down stairs and the machine was in its end spin cycle. In dread I pulled out my pants and and found the flashlight still in its pocket. Upon opening it up it was bone-dry inside, including the reflector. Good work 4Sevens! It probably helped too that the o-rings were lubed with Nyogel and I use cold water.

Here is my shiny Quark after its bath:

Haha nice. Was it an accident or were you curious? Most lights can take it. The water isn't under much pressure.

Anyway, looking good :thumbsup:

I always find that a quick scrub using hand soap and a nail brush brings up my TI lights like brand new.

Lucky it was protected from knocks and bumps by staying in your pocket.
