I've used it on blue label 602's. They have the standard finish with the Paiste wax coating. Worked fine. You can't damage the cymbal with it.

Maybe just try a small area underneath?

I used in on a couple of older A. Zildjians a couple of months ago. I had bought for use on a 2oo2 crash where I had cleaned some marked off with barkeepers Friend and it started rusting orange. After applying it on the 2oo2, it never rusted again. However, it's been a couple of months since I put them on a couple of traditional finish pies, as well as an early Cie logo cymbal, which were the first brilliants and I am noticing that I will still need to wipe them soon as they are darkening the same as cymbals that I didn't apply the protector on. My cymbals quickly get a brown film on them this time of the year in Florida more than any other, because the A/C doesn't run as often, which helps remove the humidity.

I ended up finding my Pledge and used it on my B20. So far, so good.

At the same time, I would still like to hear more about anyone's experience with PP on their B20s. I really like the protecting feel that (my Paistes) have on them after application, and I would think it will do well to protect them. Time will help me.

I understand some people use car wax on them for the same purpose - please share (what brand/kind)!

Thanks for the responses thus far!

All of those things might help to clean them. I've tried NuFinish. Not sure I would recommend it. It cleans the heavy grime off. I'm not so sure it really seals them.

I'm just not sure there is a product that will successfully keep your B20 pies from developing patina. The Sabian cleaner seems to be very good at maintaining a polished cymbal every few months.
