Care & Use

Aluminum Product Care:

To clean, wash with mild soap & water and treat like your new car finish.
If finish is accidentally scratched or chipped, use touch-up paint available from your dealer.
To protect finish, spray with vinyl protector such as Armo-All® or use a high-quality auto wax and polish the surface.
Oil hinges on storm doors as needed with a light sewing machine oil.
Keep weatherstripping clean of dirt and grit for proper sealing. Wash with mild soap & water. Vinyl and rubbger seals can be treated with vinyl protector such as Armo-All®.

All hardware will function better if it is cleaned properly.
Much like sterling silver, even the finest brass will react naturally to the elements surrounding it. To maintain, polish with a non-abrasive automotive or furniture wax. You may have to clean with a brass cleaner if the brass tarnishes.
By keeping your hardware cleaned and maintained, you will be rewarded with a long lasting finish.
Tighten screws when necessary.

Use a soft, clean, high-absorbent, lint-free cloth.
Do not clean glass in direct sunlight.
Utilize a 50/50 mixture of Isopropyl Alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and water. This evaporates more slowly than typical cleaners and will keep streaking to a minimum.
Spray the cleaning solution on the glass surface to be cleaned.
Wipe the cleaning solution off the glass using a circular motion applying light to moderate pressure to remove dirt residue.
If the above solution does not remove the dirt as desired, any household non-abrasive cleaner can be used, such as: Windex™, Sparkle™, Formula 409™.
If the above household non-abrasive cleaners are used, reduce the area to be cleaned to more easily allow removal of the solution prior to evaporation (which is the cause of streaking). If streaks occur, reduce the area further.
Products with foam or lather will help slow the evaporation of the cleaning solution and allow time to remove the residue.
