Thread: Help!

Hi,I'm new and hope someone here can give me some advice with my query.

I have cast aluminium garden furniture which is powder coated finish.

The advice for keeping it looking good was to use car wax,giving a very light cover and polish which has been done.The chairs,legs,lazy susan all look great.The problem is the area of the table.

The next evening it rained and now the table is covered with white,milky looking stains which look like where the raindrops have sat on the table!

I have washed the table with car car shampoo and also tried warm soapy water with white vinegar and the stains are still there!

I dont undersatend how only the table is le is stained and why?
Is it ruined?
Any advice on how to remove this staining will be gratefully received.

Thanks.

You could try a very light 'cut and polish' type compound. Or check with the supplier /manufacturer.

I have used Auto Glym rubber and plastic restorer on out door setting as you have with great success

Did You use it on cast aluminium?

Did it remove milky white stains that seem to have penetrated the metal?

I used it on powder coated cast Aluminium, it brought it up like new, as for the stain I did not have them so I can not answer that one

Drops of water on a painted surface can act like a magnifying glass and "burn" the pigment in the paint enough to slightly change the colour.
