Aluminum Care Guide

1. Regular cleaning

Regular cleaning is important to keep aluminum in good condition.

• Use only a soft microfiber cloth or 100% cotton rag.
• First wipe off dust and dirt with a damp cloth , without rubbing dry to avoid scratches.
• If the surface is very dirty, you can use a mild soap solution , such as dishwashing detergent that does not contain chlorine or ammonia.

2. Polishing

Polishing restores the shine of aluminum and removes minor imperfections.

• Use fine-grained polishing pastes designed specifically for aluminum or stainless steel. For example, Zephyr Pro40 or Zephyr Pro25 .
• When polishing, use light, circular motions with minimal pressure.
• After polishing, remove any remaining paste with a clean, dry cloth . Use a microfiber cloth.

3. Protective coating

The protective coating helps prevent oxidation and keeps the surface clean for longer.

• After cleaning and polishing, it is recommended to apply ceramic or a special aluminum protector.
• Although our polishing pastes already have protective properties, such as a hydrophobic effect, you can apply ceramics for additional protection. We offer a spray-on ceramic, Zephyr Pro30 .
• If the surface is exposed to moisture or salt water, it is recommended to renew the coating every 1-2 months .

4. Storage and protection

Proper storage is important to prevent damage.

• It is recommended to store aluminum in a dry room , away from direct precipitation and moisture.
• Use soft cloth covers for storage, not plastic wrap, as plastic can trap moisture.
• To avoid rust stains, avoid direct contact with iron parts .
