Metal Maintenance on Bronze, Stainless and Aluminum Surfaces is it needed?

I get asked all the time when property managers or facility managers are bidding their Metal Maintenance Services. " Do I really need you to perform monthly cleaning of my metal as part of the scope of work?  The answer is yes if you want to keep the amount of refinishing you will need to due to a minimum. All types of architectural surfaces such as bronze, stainless steel and aluminum require some sort of regular cleaning during the year to prevent oxidation, patination or pitting on the surfaces.
There are a number of reasons that this should be done by a Metal Refinishing and Restoration Company.  The most reason is that a trained mechanic knows what materials or products to never use on any architectural surface to prevent permanent damage or costly restoration to fix a mistake.  There are many acids and abrasives on the market that seem like quick fixes but often lead to very undesirable results.  Another reason for using a metal maintenance company is that even when using the correct cleaning agent you can still cause damage in the application by not going with a certain grain or using the material in an incorrect manner.  Correct maintenance can prolong the life of your finish and save many hundreds and potentially thousands of dollars by being done right the first time.  If you have a regular visit scheduled by your metal maintenance company they can also detect areas that are in need of some light refinishing or special attention that can avoid a larger problem in the future.
If you have any questions about the process and function of a correctly executed metal plan reach out to us and we would be happy to go into further detail
