How do you clean the DIN thread on your first stage? I soak my reg in fresh water after each day of diving but with the cap on the prevent water intrusion. Is there any trick to clean the thread beside using a wet towel or may be a toothbrush?
Is the mild corrosion on the threads hindering function at all (beyond making a slight squeaking noise when screwing it into the DIN tank valve)?
If not, don't worry about it and it will get cleaned good as new during the next servicing.
I suppose if you really wanted to you could use a damp towel or toothbrush.
If it really bothered you so much to have shiny DIN threads on your first stage, you could just remove the part in question, stick it in a heated ultrasonic bath or 50:50 vinegar:water solution followed by fresh water rinses, and then re-install the part. Not worth the trouble IMO, though.
