Using and looking after your tray and canopy
Powder coating
- To maintain both the aesthetic and functional properties of your powder coat, please ensure you are cleaning your tray and canopy on a regular basis. Allowing a build-up of dirt and grime will require more intense cleaning and is not good for the powder coated surface.
- Carefully remove any loose surface deposits with a damp sponge or cloth by gently rubbing. Do not rub powder coated surface excessively or with any abrasive materials.
- Scouring pads and scrapers should be avoided as well as any harsh solvents. A mild diluted detergent works best.
- Smooth or metallic finishes can be more prone to scratching and should be treated with greater care.
- Always test a small unseen area of the powder coat before cleaning with solvents
- Keep your tray and canopy undercover where possible, being exposed to constant weather conditions (including rain, sun and hail) will shorten the life of the powder coated surface.
- High levels of salt or pollutants from coastal or industrial areas may also shorten the life of the powder coated surface. Winds carrying air borne debris, such as salt, will have an abrasive and erosive effect. Cleaning should be done more frequently if your tray and canopy are exposed to these conditions.
- A powder coated tray can be damaged by heavy items or by an item rubbing against the surface. It is recommended that a rubber mat is used in on the tray floor and travel blankets/ padding etc are used when carrying a load
