erictag1 Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 I purchased a KK that may be 10 years old. The outside finish is weathered and dull and I would like to bring back the shiny, bright look that it deserves. I have not found this addressed in the forum and would appreciate your input on how to get this done. Thank you!!

jonj Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Others will have their own opinions and procedures, but here is what I would do. First, wash the exterior with soap and water to get the surface dirt off, then dry. Second I would use Zep Fast 505 to clean the grease and stubborn dirt from the exterior. You can also use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser with the Zep for the stubborn areas. Third, rinse and dry to remove excess Zep (or whatever your chosen cleaner is). Fourth, now the surface is clean, carefully check all the grout joints to be sure they are intact and regrout if needed. You can obtain grout from the KK website, if you didn’t get any from the original owner. Finallly, I use Meguiar’s Ultimate Quik Wax to give a final shine to the tiles and stainless steel. I should add, all the above have been recommended in various Forum threads over the years. Edited April 2, 2020 by jonj 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
