Cleaning

While factory-applied finishes on steel garage doors are durable, it is desirable to clean them on a routine basis. Some discoloration of the finish may occur when a door has been exposed to dirt-laden atmosphere for a period of time. Slight chalking may also occur as a result of direct exposure to sunlight.

Cleaning the door will generally restore the appearance of the finish. To maintain an aesthetically pleasing finish of the garage door, an annual washing of the door is recommended.

A mild solution of detergent and water will aid in the removal of most dirt. The following solution mixture is recommended:

One cup of TideTM, or other common detergents, which contain less than 0.5% phosphate, dissolved into five gallons of warm water.

CAUTION: NEVER MIX CLEANSERS OR DETERGENTS WITH BLEACH.

1.Clean acrylic glazing with nonabrasive soap or detergent and plenty of water. Use your bare hands to feel and

dislodge any caked on particles A soft, grit-free cloth, sponge or chamois may be used to wipe the surface. Do not use hard or rough cloths that will scratch the acrylic glazing. Dry glazing with a clean damp chamois.

2.Kerosene may be used to remove grease and oil. When using kerosene for cleaning purposes, make sure that you are familiar with it’s properties, using it only in a well ventilated area away from any sources of sparks and/or fire.

3.DO NOT USE window cleaning fluids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths, gasoline, or solvents such as alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, etc.

Painting

Wax on the surface must be removed or paint peeling/flaking will result. To remove this wax, it will be necessary to lightly scuff the surface with a fine steel wool pad, saturated with soapy water. A final wipe and rinse should be done with clean water only, to remove any loose particles and any soapy film residue.

Surface scratches, which have not exposed the metal substrate, can be lightly buffed or sanded with 0000 steel wool or No. 400 sand paper to create a smoother surface. Care must be taken to not expose the substrate under the paint. Once the substrate is exposed, the likelihood for rusting is greatly increased. See the following paragraph if metal substrate is observed.

The exposed substrate must be treated to prevent rust from forming. Sand the exposed area lightly and paint with a high quality metal primer, specifically intended for galvanized surfaces, to protect the area from corrosion. Follow drying time on primer can label before applying topcoat.

The surface of the factory-applied finish, that is being painted, must not be too smooth, or the paint will not adhere to it. It is advisable to test in an inconspicuous area, to evaluate adhesion. If poor adhesion is observed, surface preparation for painting the factory-applied finish, must be repeated until desired results are achieved. Again, care must be taken to not expose the substrate under the paint.

Note: It is NOT recommend that you paint your door any dark color, this may lead to higher surface temperatures resulting in gaps between the stiles and rails of your door section(s).
