Recommendations on cleaning PRS hardware/pickups?
 
I've had a Custom 22 for a little over 10 years now and the bridge and pickups are starting to show a little corrosion. Nothing too substantial. Probably should've caught it a bit earlier. Any recommendations on solutions/techniques to alleviate this? Thanks in advance!

put some on a cloth and rub
it definitely works on rust

Cleaning and waxing - just as one would take care of a car's finish - prevent corrosion. Once it has formed, it's done.

You might try just a "tad" of Mother's Metal Polish -- being careful of the guitar finish. I have used that with q-tips and the like on small metal parts on guitars and it has worked really well for me.

I've used metal polishes to shine up hardware while mounted on guitars. Tape up to it real tight with painter's masking tape, put a thin layer of plastic over that, followed with another layer of tape to hold the plastic.

All metal polishes will attack a guitar's finish under the right conditions. Leave nothing to chance. If need be, put the guitar in a plastic bag and cut oversize holes where you're working and tape the edges of the holes down. Work swiftly and remove the tape and plastic ASAP. If you don't feel confident, don't try this.
