off the product (if needed use a soft Scotch-Brite pad to remove any tough spots.) If you
used Barkeepers Friend, then you do not need to do anything further. If you used Instant
Rust Out (or another cleaning agent), you would want to wipe it down with fresh water
and dry it off again with a clean towel and then coat the steel with a layer of WD-40 or
another Stainless Polishing solution, which will act as a surface protectant for the steel.
i. IMPORTANT: Be sure not to have your grill on when using any flammable
product, such as WD-40. These products are extremely flammable in their
aerosol form.
Environmental Factors that can affect your Grill
Mother Nature is a wonderful thing but unfortunately she can be tough on outdoor appliances. There are
several usual causes for surface discoloration and corrosion on your stainless steel outdoor equipment:
1) Mortar (which contains lime) from the island assembly process, has rested on the unit for a
pro-longed period of time and the unit was not cleaned quickly
2) Pool chemicals were splashed onto the grill (chlorine and acid will cause very quick problems) and
the unit was not cleaned off quickly
3) Hard water from sprinklers (chlorine in the water) was allowed to sit on the unit
4) Salt from the ocean air/water was allowed to rest upon the grill for a prolonged period of time before
being cleaned (beach owners must be diligent in maintaining their outdoor stainless equipment)
5) Dust, or rust, from other metals found it ways onto the grill and was left on for an extended period of
time.
6) Organic matters (such as certain types of food) might have gotten onto the surface of the grill and it
was then covered. With high humidity and low oxygen, corrosion will start to take place.
7) Sprays and cleaning solutions containing alkaline, lime, acid, salt might have been left on the grill
surface un-dried.
8) No stainless steel polish was ever used after one of the above mentioned acts took place.
Ways to Avoid Rust on your Grill:
1) Always purchase a Coyote Grill cover for your unit. This will ensure that your cover is correct fit and
breathable, while providing the protection needed to keep all other contaminants off of the surface.
2) When installing the unit, make sure to keep the unit covered when any masonry work is being
performed. If any mortar or dust does come into contact with the stainless, make sure to wipe it off
as soon as possible and use a stainless steel polish immediately afterwards.
3) Position your grill away from areas that can receive water splash from a pool or hot tub.
4) Do not store pool chemicals in your island or island cabinets.
How to Remove Scratches from your Stainless Steel:
If your situation is a little more serious and you have obtained scratches in your equipment, then you will
need to purchase a “stainless steel scratch kit.” These kits are popular in retail stores but can be easier
to obtain online. A very popular one is called “Scratch-B-Gone.” With these kits, you will not polish the
unit until you are done re-scratching the entire product you are working on. With a scratch kit, the goal is
to literally re-scratch the entire surface, so that the original grains are replaced by your new scratched-in
grains. With this practice, you must be willing to do the entire surface as you will notice a start and stop
point. Also, be careful to pay attention to your rolled or finished edges as these scratch kits will ruin this
finish. After you have used the kit, you will want to follow it up with a good stainless polish (as mentioned
prior) and then a dry towel for a final wipe down.
