cvt cleaning question

Ok, so i’ve done some research, it seems the easiest way to clean the sheaves is with some steel wool and then some warm water and soap. If this isn’t a good idea then i’m open to suggestions for sure!!!

Also, when i took the side cover off and i look at my primary sheave it is shiny, it doesn’t look like there is any belt residue on it at all.
Should the sheave be shiney?

Right now there doesn’t seem to be any belt slippage at all, i’m just going through the grizz to make sure everything is in good working order!
