AVOID CLEANERS THAT CAN HAVE SOLVENTS OR PETROLEUM BASED CHEMICALS
The images and video below illustrates what can happen when chemical cleaners are used on powder coating. Even cleaners that claim to be "non-acidic" and "pH neutral" can have solvents or petroleum based chemicals that could harm some powder coated finishes. Metallic finishes that have not been clear coated are especially at risk of staining because the chemicals in the cleaners can cause the metallic to oxidize. Always follow the directions listed on cleaners but be aware that some cleaners that claim to be safe on powder coating can actually damage the finish.
What happens when you use a chemical wheel cleaner on a powder coated rim?
*To reduce the risk of damaging the finish, we only recommend cleaning powder coating with a mild detergent soap and warm water. A soft bristled brush can be used for more stubborn stains such as brake dust on wheels.*
