Protecting and Preserving Powder Coat

LANDMAN · 05-10-2006, 09:13 AM

I want to keep my Lazer Lite cover looking new. Does anyone have any suggestions on what products to use to keep the powder coat finish looking new and protecting it from getting sun beaten?

Thanks

This is for motorcycles, but I think it applies to powdercoats in general.

Andrews recommends washing with soap and water and protecting the powder coat with wax. Parts that are powder coated and not polished can be cleaned with a wheel cleaner that is listed as safe for clear-coated wheels. Any brake fluid that drips onto coated parts can be removed easily with alcohol. Also, never clean the parts while they are hot.

Thanks man. I wasn't sure if it was okay to wax it or not. Good info.

wash it down, and dry it with some nice 80 grit sand paper
