Powder Coated Aluminum & Stainless Steel
Powder Coating
Powder coating is a durable, corrosion-resistant finish applied electrostatically and cured under heat, creating a tough "skin" resistant to knocks, scratches, and moisture. The lifespan of the finish is significantly extended by regular, proactive cleaning.
General Cleaning:
Use only water and mild soap (standard dish soap is effective).
Avoid abrasive products, scourers, steel wool, or Scotchbrite, which will damage the finish.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residue.
Dry with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots, especially on darker colours or in hard water areas.
Hose off every few weeks to remove loose dirt and prevent buildup.
Promptly wipe up spills.
Consider applying a non-abrasive car wax with UV protection periodically after washing and drying. This adds an extra layer of protection and can enhance shine.
Important Considerations:
Never use abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washers.
Avoid harsh chemicals like solvents (acetone, mineral spirits, paint thinner), bleach, and ammonia, which can damage or discolour the coating.
Wash and rinse more frequently in coastal regions or areas with high pollution to remove salt deposits and corrosive particles before they can impact the finish.
