🖌️ Caring for Your Hand-Painted Aluminum Art

Keep it beautiful. Keep it protected.

Your custom hand-painted aluminum art is built to last, sealed with a high quality automotive clear coat, and with a little care, will stay vibrant and eye-catching for years to come.

​​​

• Wash with water and wax ta few times per year to remove dirt and debris​

  • ​

    • If you choose to use soap, be sure to use car wash soap and avoid kitchen detergents.

    •  Finish up by spraying with car wax. Many waxes can be sprayed on while your piece is still wet with no drying or buffing required (and no chalky residue!)
      ​​

Live near the ocean? Do it more often to guard against salt and moisture.

​

2. Use Car Soap — Not Dish Soap

Avoid kitchen soaps — they strip away protective coatings.

​

3. Remove Mildew if Needed
Use a 50/50 diluted chlorine solution to spot-clean mildew.
Rinse thoroughly before waxing.

​

4. Try Wet-Apply Spray Waxes
Many waxes can be sprayed on while your piece is still wet after washing —
No drying or buffing required and no chalky residue.

With just a few minutes of care a couple times a year, your art will keep turning heads and brightening your space for years to come!

​

Simply wash and wax them periodically, twice a year at least,  and more frequently when close to the ocean.

​

Using kitchen soap removes existing wax, so car soap is recommended.

Only if necessary to remove mildew, use diluted chlorine (50/50) and rinse well before applying the wax. Don’t need to let dry in the case of wet waxes.

​

There are many waxes in the market that can easily be sprayed, even while wet after you wash your item, and don’t need to be buffed.

​

These are some manufacturers that produce quality, wet waxes that won’t leave white residue, available at any auto parts store or online.
