I've lapped many a waterblock, but never one with a base that's already done to suck fine tolerances, so i think i will give lapping a miss, plus the base is thin enough already lol.

Question being, what method would you recommend as the best way to clean up the base without degrading it or detracting from it's performance at all?

Thanks in advance.

I clean my blocks with a bath in saltwater together with aluminium fragments (folie). no scratches what so ever, just leave it in for 1-3 hours and then pure some pure water on it. Before mounting use some Aceton on a pice of cotton, as always.
