A client in Seattle said my shutter curtain cleaning method was too rough

He showed me a picture of a tiny scratch on his Leica M6 curtain after I worked on it. I switched to using a softer brush and lighter fluid instead of my old stiff one. Anyone else get called out on a cleaning technique they thought was fine?

Yeah, benk26 is right, those Seattle folks notice everything.

Actually, lighter fluid can leave a residue (it's not super pure). Might want to try naphtha instead, it evaporates cleaner.

Seattle clients always spot the tiny details, right?
