They have been covered but the they are dirty. I find that the tile darkens as the smoke exits the upper damper. The tiles appear to deepen brown. But obviously grease and smoke. It was recommended that I used the zapp 505 from Home Depot. I was in the states last week with Rak and grabbed a bottle. Wiped the exterior down and had some white residue from the burn in on the grout so wiped it all down with the 505. This stuff cuts through the grease!!!!!!! Wiped it all down then hit it with liquid car wax spray. Buffed with a rag and man they look shiny and new. This set up is so nice to look at. Sorry for the redundant shot but the shine from the wax was worthy of a picture!! Wifey just gave her blessing for a gazebo so I will be placing order soon. Can't wait to get my outdoor area set up for the spring!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5698k Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 The 505 is the stuff, it cut grime that I couldn't get with elbow grease. <br /> <br /> <br /> Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosco Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Robert said to try the 505 and it wiped the grease clean. I had to use a tough sponge around the steel collar to get the grime off but really little effort. I let the shell dry after degreasing then hit it with the spray wax. bling bling!!! side note, that 505 removed the white residue from the initial burn in!!
