How do you remove corrosion from cymbals?

Use the propoer solutions like Sabian cleaner or at the very most, Groove Juice for a deeper clean. If you care for them from the day you've had them though it'll last a lot longer, and once it's gone a nice patina will be there to protect it. not all cymbals come with that protective coating anyway.

After cleaning a cymbal, it is best to use a manufacturer recommended polish. These polishes will help coat the cymbal with a thin protective layer that will help to prevent oxidation. Think of it this way; you get a car undercoated to help prevent rust. Polish is like a cymbals undercoat.

How do you get rid of green spots on cymbals?

Be sure not to go in circles or across the grain as it can scratch if not careful. I use a soft sponge and rinse the sponge and cymbal with water and repeat as needed. It eventually will remove the green but it may take some added elbow grease.

How do you get mold out of cymbals?

Well, if you really want to clean it, you can do this: lemon. Cut a lemon in half and rub it agains the cymbal until it cleans. After that, rinse 2x with plenty of water and dry it 2x too. After that you will need to put a protective coat back, otherwise the cymbal will look worse in a few days, since its a B8 cymbal.
