so I think any of us Surefire owners with oldies (older bodies/models) know that the lettering (the Surefire logo, A#####, etc.) starts to get a bit darker and dirty over the years (from being handled I'm certain).
My question is: is there a way to restore the white color to the letters? Perhaps rubbing alcohol might clean them up? Or is it not simply a dirt problem? Does anyone have experience in this? Maybe a sonic (or ultrasonic? what are they called again?) jewelry cleaner would work?
I don't plan on repainting the letters though, because I wouldn't be able to do that too well I don't believe.
edit: I've also got a 47s 123^2 "X" Tactical I'd like to clean up, too, in addition to my really old (A00773) M1 Illuminator and C2 Centurion.
