  • Discoloration, flaking, or corrosion resulting from chemical exposure.

  • Alterations or modifications to the finish or part.

  • Scrub Packing and or wear marks on the finish that may occur during shipping.

3. Stainless Steel Characteristics: Stainless steel is renowned for its corrosion resistance. However, exposure to certain environmental elements can lead to oxidation, which may give the material a hazy or slightly brown appearance requiring polishing and or cleaning to bring back to an acceptable state.

4. Maintenance and Care:

  • Routine Cleaning: Every few weeks, remove dirt and air pollutants that can pit the surface by rinsing with a hose.

  • Seasonal Protection: Once per season, apply a good polish or ceramic coating to help prevent rust and staining. A light application of car wax is also beneficial.

  • Restorative Care: For signs of rust, scratches, scuffs, or staining, a metal polish can be effective. For optimal results, adhere to the specific product label's instructions.
