You are right. I already have the right brushes, bought in cosmetics stores, but they work much better when combined with the action of compressed air. I'm asking here what kind of compressed air to use ... or... if there are better methods than the brush and compressed air. Especially for the interior.

Contact radio dust covers and get covers for your equipment when off. Saves a ton of dust and his covers are outstanding. Super fast service as well.

I see that you live in Italy. Probably not a CVS or Walgreens anywhere near your neighborhood. But, Italy is well known for its beautiful women, and I am sure that there are abundant cosmetic shops where you can find these brushes to clean your amp.

that's exactly why entering a women's cosmetics store to buy a brush is very inconvenient as men... wherever you are.

This is why I recommended using a computer keyboard vacuum. That way you won't be brusihg or blowing the dust all over the amp, only for it settle on the amp again.
