You maintain the appearance of your car with regular washing. Similarly, powder coated surfaces need the routine cleaning to remove dirt and grime. This ensures that you retain the decorative and protective properties of the coating.

Just a gentle clean with a soft brush and mild detergent, followed by a fresh water rinse, will maintain the long-term performance of your powder coated products. In rural or normal urban environments cleaning should occur every 12 months, in areas of high pollution, such as industrial area's, geothermal area's or coastal environments, cleaning should occur every three months. In particuarly hazardous locations, such as beachfront, severe marine environments or area's of high industrial pollution, the frequency of cleaning should be increased to monthly.

If you need to remove splashed paint, sealants or mastics from your powder coated products, you can use white spirits. When using white spirits, cleaning should be carried out in the shade and during cooler temperatures using a soft cloth and gentle wiping only.

It is also recommended that, prior top use, a small non-visable area of your powder coated products be tested to ensure that no visual colour change or damage occur, particulary with bright and deep colours.
