Rub the surface with automotive rubbing or polishing compound to abrade away oxidation.
1. Apply a coat of automotive paste wax to the surface.
2. Allow the wax to dry for a few minutes.
3. Remove residue and polish surface with a clean cloth.
HOW TO REMOVE OXIDATION
2
Oxidation can also be a problem on metal painted surfaces, since the outermost layers of paint are
constantly exposed to air and water. If the outer finish is not protected by a wax coating or
polyurethane,the oxygen molecules in the air will eventually start interacting with the paint.
As the oxygen burns up the free radicals contained in the paint, the finish becomes duller and duller.
Restoration efforts may include removing a layer of affected paint and reapplying a new layer of
protectant. This is why professional detailers recommend at least one layer of wax or other
protectant be used every time the metal surface is washed.
The secret to preventing oxidation caused by oxygen is to provide a layer of protection between the
exposed material and the air. This could mean a wax or polyurethane coating similar to a car, a layer
of paint on metal objects or a quick spray of an anti-oxidant, like lemon juice, on exposed fruit.
Destructive oxidation cannot occur if the oxygen cannot penetrate a surface to reach the free radicals
it craves.
The Powder Coating paint process has become the most common widely used application in the
outdoor furniture category. Unfortunately powder coating is extremely sensitive to Humidity and
Moisture. A simple process to protect your furniture, especially flat surfaces is to apply a simple
coat of good quality car wax prior to use. If this process is done every few months it will protect your
furniture for years to come.
Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference
between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating is that the powder coating does not require
a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. The coating is typically applied
electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin". The powder may be
a thermoplastic or a thermoset polymer. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher
than conventional paint. Powder coating is mainly used for coating of metals, such as household
appliances, aluminium extrusions, drum hardware, and automobile and bicycle parts.
