Clean the tuning pegs with a soft dry dust cloth to remove settled dust and dirt as well as any oil from hands. Rub the cloth briskly over the finish for a polished shine. Remove stubborn dirt with a mild brass polish. Pour a small amount of polish on a corner of the soft cloth and apply to the metal finish.

How do you clean tuners?
Steps for cleaning a sealed guitar tuner:
Place a small amount of solvent on your cloth. Thoroughly clean the knobs, housing and capstan (post). Use a soft bristled brush or toothbrush to work loose any difficult debris that doesn't wipe off. Dry the sealed tuners thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth.
How do you lubricate guitar tuning pegs?
Fill it with grease, and use any 1/2" round rod as a plunger. Use a power screwdriver and an EZ-Winder to wind the tuner forward and backward rapidly as you squeeze in the petroleum jelly. The moving parts spread the grease to where it's needed.
Can you use wd40 on guitar tuning pegs?
DON'T DO IT!
WD-40 will attract dirt!!! It may take a while, but it can eventually gum-up the works--especially if you use it several times. If you NEED to lubricate your tuners, try graphite, like you use to lubricate a lock. It is available almost everywhere in small tubes.
