i just got these new clubs and i want them to last a while, what kind of stuff do you use to clean them while preventing rust?

soap and water my friend
^^^ let them soak for a while, then wipe any dirt off, then towel dry. Always seems to work for me.

A very stiff toothbrush and water. Dry off with an old clean bath towel, and you got yourself brand new clubs. I don't use soap because it can ruin the clubs over time.
They won't rust as long as you keep them dry.

Bingo, let em sit in soap and water for a little while, then take a tooth brush to the grooves to get all the dirt out

Brake cleaner will clean anythig off metal, including paint. But it's not so great if you get it on any plastic, rubber, or fiberglass.

I use windex. Its cleans pretty good and leaves them shiney.

Soap or cleaning agents aren't necessary. Just water and a golf brush.
After soaking your clubs in water, you need your brush to clean in between the grooves. If you don't have a brush, you're going to have a hell of a time trying to get the dirt out of the grooves.

Get a wire brush if you can... depending on what type of face you have on the clubs. They clean the grooves better than anything will but... if the face has a 'finish' on it (like a dull or a matt finish) it will scratch the sh*t out of them so second best is a toothbrush for those ones.
Also a small tip, use soapy water and a wire brush on the grips (even corded ones). Afterwards they will almost stick to an open hand.

...also, get in the habit of wiping/brushing your club after each shot. If you do this, you won't have to clean your entire set as often.
However, once you take your shot, please note that you can wipe/brush your club while you walk/ride to your next destination. It's not that hard.
Too many schmucks unknowingly hold up the pace of play as they stand around doing this, instead of getting clear of the area for the golfers behind them. If you're not the furthest one back, then take all the time you want cleaning your precious clubs. :)

Beat me to it. :cool: I usually clip an extra towel or two to my bag and clean as I go. It cuts down on the build up and keeps my clubs in good shape. Trust me, here in the Northwest the clubs tend to get pretty dirty year round.

Soap and water with an old toothbrush. Use a sharp tee to clean out the grooves as you're playing.

Mizuno recommended a toothbrush and warm water, followed by a coating of WD40 when i got my forged blades
