ANODIZED CARE & DISCLAIMER:   read before ordering
⚠️ WARNING:
 Improper cleaning can permanently damage the anodic coating on billet aluminum parts, causing fading, staining, or discoloration. 

SOAPS / CLEANERS THAT DAMAGE :
High-pH (alkaline) soaps, degreasers, and acidic wheel cleaners can fade, stain, or strip anodized aluminum, especially when they contain sodium hydroxide (lye) or other strong acids. Heavy-duty fast-acting alkaline cleaners designed for engine bays or wheels should not be used on anodized surfaces.

WHAT TO AVOID :
High-pH (alkaline) cleaners
Heavy-duty degreasers
Wheels / engine bay cleaners
Oven cleaners (e.g., Yellow Cap, Easy-Off)
Products containing sodium hydroxide (lye)
Damage the anodic coating 
Hot Surfaces
Never wash in direct sunlight, as heat accelerates chemical damage
 Acidic cleaners
Wheel cleaners with strong acids
Nitric or sulfuric-based cleaners
Aggressive aluminum cleaners
 Aluminum brighteners or etchers

Products designed for raw or polished aluminum can strip the anodized coating

✅ HOW TO PROTECT ANODIZED ALUMINUM:

pH-neutral soaps 
only use cleaners with a pH between 6–8
Wash on cool surfaces
Avoid direct sunlight or hot parts
Test small areas first
Always try new products on a small, hidden area
Safe Alternatives:
Isopropyl alcohol (used carefully and sparingly)
• Mild Automotive Car Wash Soap

⚠️ RESPONSIBILITY NOTICE:
Damage caused by improper cleaning chemicals or detailing products is the sole responsibility of the owner. Keeping your anodized parts clean with the right products will help maintain their finish and extend their lifespan.
