All anodised aluminium surfaces should be kept clean of all dust, dirt, grime, and foreign matter. You can do this by using clean water and a small amount of mild detergent, making sure you thoroughly wash off the detergent with more clean water.

Under no circumstances should you use any abrasive cleaning agents like Ajax, or cleaning materials such as steel wool, as you will damage the anodised surface.

You must clean powder-coated aluminium surfaces because things such as dust, dirt, grime, and foreign matter will absorb moisture and damage the coating. Use a wet sponge with clean water and a small amount of mild detergent. Make sure you thoroughly wash off the detergent with more clean water to avoid deterioration of the coating which will occur as a result of soap deposition.

Never use abrasive cleaning agents such as Ajax and, if small scratches occur, they can be easily buffed out with a good quality car polish. If you do attempt this yourself, use the polish carefully, ensuring the coated surface is not removed.
