Is this safe to use on powder coated steel?

No, not really. If it allowed to dwell for any amount of time, it will eat the finish.

I have only used on our Barbecue Grill. Very strong but very effective in cleaning. We also used on stainless steel racks in oven and did not cause any issues

I have never tried to use on stainless steel. However, from knowing a little bit from working around a auto detail shop using this on a stainless steel appliance would leave it streaked and I can tell you trying to get it wiped off to ale a shine I think would be very difficult. I believe I would check out using a push made for only stainless steel . A refg. Is painted much like an automobile and a polish that's made for enamel paint will only take the stainless sheen and destroy it. Stainless steel does not have clear coat applied to it nor does it any type of enamel and a wax such as jubilee will do nothing but ruin the sheen of stainless steel. There are polisher for stainless such as never dull.

I think that's somewhat deceptive--it must contain a very fine powdery abrasive. I use it on the metal parts of a musical instrument--it works beautifully!

No, the protective coating on the blade is there to retard rusting of the carbon steel blade. Just keep a thin film of oil on the blade and you'll have no worries.

No. There is a small part of the blade on the top that was specifically left non-coated for this reason. I have used the firestarter a few times and it would not damage the knife or the blade. Don't worry about it.

Hi, Anything made of steel will react to weather if left out in it long enough. We have tried to make this unit as tough as possible with stainless vertical rods, coated bolts, hard plastic washers, galvanized nuts, and powder coated sheet steel and handle assemblies. Still, if left in salt air or humid locations rust will inevitably show up. Thats just the nature of steel. Use lubricant as a coating as much as possible.

Yes, make sure the surface is clean. If the zinc coating is smooth it will need to be roughed up to 80 grit

It doesn't have abrasive powder and is safe to use on almost any car paint. Just use a microfiber towel or pad to apply and remove and it should be protected without removing any of the clear coat.

I clear coated some aluminum wheels that I reconditioned. Should work great to seal as a rust preventative. If you are painting on bare steel there is prep product that they recommend fore bare metal(for adhesion). I forget the name but is made by the same company. I would definately recommend this product. It takes some time to dry(harden) but well worth the wait.

It's all stainless steel, don't know why it would be powder coated or painted "grey". Idk, could be wrong. It works great though. Just buy it : )

It is not powder coated at all. It is a shiny aluminum if that makes sense. Not as shiny as chrome though

I have only had mine for a limited period of time , but I would imagine it would be rust free being it is powder coated.

Yes, it seems to be a true powder-coated finish. Very slick and easy to clean, at least for the few months I've had them.

Everything I've ever used it on has been unaffected by it, but they're all relatively modern firearms. It's really just hi-tech soap, and while they tell you themselves it might harm some less-expensive "cold bluing" finishes, I can't imagine it would harm a really good old-fashioned finish. Still, I agree that testing on some inconspicuous spot would be wise. I use the stuff on all my guns and have been very happy with it for years.

I am not sure what material the powder coating is, so am unable to assess how well paint would adhere to it. In any case some pre treatment would be beneficial, either by sanding it lightly to provide keying of the paint to the surface, or cleaning it thoroughly with a solvent like denatured alcohol so that the surface has a chemical affinity for the paint. Also, it would depend on what sort of paint you choose to use, i.e. linseed oil based, epoxy, polyurethane, etc. I have had reasonable success with Rustoleum applied with a brush. I would not suggest using a spray on paint like krylon that I have found to flake after a season on my metal garden furniture. Otherwise, the krylon paints are good, easy to apply, and quick drying. Good luck. I use one of my old clothes posts to hang bird feeders from in the winter.

The bottle only tells you how to do it on steel. It might. You should all the company. Their customer service is really good. I had to call because I was using it wrong and they explained everything over the phone

Just put mine on a little over a month ago and am really pleased. Powder coat seems pretty durable and could take a beating. I don't see it being a problem down the road at all unless you're gonna try to weld/modify it, then I would suspect that could hurt the powder coated areas around the weld.
