I've got an old Zildjian ride and it has so many frickin' finger prints on it and I don't have any cymbal cleaner, anyone have an idea of what i can use?

Cymbal cleaner. I know you don't have any, but I don't know of anythinhg that doesnt damage, scratch or even clean like cymbal cleaner.....sorry dude!

I use washing up liquid and run a bath!! Make the bath deep enough to cover the cymbals, and leave them in there for 20 mins or so. When the time is up, take a soft towel and wipe the cymbal going gently around like you're following the grooves. This has worked for me for years without resorting to buying expensive cleaners. Hope this helps.
