Title: What do you guys use to get the black on your performers shine?
Post by: captjoe06 on March 28, 2016, 03:03:02 AM
Are you using any type of product or just soap and water to get those deep blacks on the legs and wire cart at the bottom?

Specifically like @Jason and @SixZeroFour Performers-

Is a simple hand polish, using tears from a baby lamb.

;D

When I first got this performer a couple years ago, I completely tore it down to restore it. I used car wax on the black frame. Since then, I just wipe it down with a damp towel to remove the ash dust. If you really want your grill to look good, I recommend completely taking it apart to give it a good cleaning. Do this once and it will be pretty easy to keep it looking good. A cover helps too.

Maquires makes a product called Back to Black which works great on dark surfaces.   I use it on my motor cycles, cars, my Performer or anything that is black and I want it to shine again.

Poor lamb. Someone else just cooked up its leg on another thread. Now we're using tears!

I agree with Jason - it's all about keeping it clean and undercover. Haven't tried the wax but do use Weber's Exterior Grill Cleaner to keep the outside nice and clean.
