Genesis Platinum B/C

I have seen welders' ads on Facebook marketplace, but how do I judge which ones would be a good candidate to use.

Talk to them. It's what I did. You can tell pretty much if they're worth their salt

I literally soak all the plastics for days in a bleach, dawn and bar keepers friend solution. They come out looking good, then plastic brush them and rinse in hot water. Get a scrub daddy. They do wonders

Thanks Cody,
I received my Scrub Daddys today.
My 1st impression is that they are much thicker, larger, and sturdier then the HEB non scratch pad I used to clean the shelves with. They may even be a more aggressive pad. I think I may remove the RH swing out table and give it go with one of these.
I acquired more bleach also for I had run out.
Question: When making the soaking solution do you include Bar Keepers friend in the ingredients with the Dawn and Bleach to soak the shelves in.
The BKF I have is the bottle liquid type. I think most of you use the powdered form
@Cody Bratton What is the recipe?

 

[Cody Bratton]

I add BKF powder to it. I haven’t any solid evidence it helps or not. I just know it’s a great product for cleaning stuff. I don’t t have any measurements, just kinda eyeball it while the tub fills.

 

[Samuel]

Thanks Cody.

Bruce,
When you soak your platinum shelves do you use BKF during or after they are soaked and scrubbed with bleach and dawn? What is your method. I would like to know that also if I could.

 

[Bruce]

I don't really soak shelves. I have a spray bottle full of straight bleach. I spray them and keep them dam for about 2-3 minutes and then scrub them. For the SS inserts, I use some simple green to wet the panel, then sprinkle on some BKF and scrub them. I have been using the scrub daddy pads too for this and I like them. I am thinking about starting up another SS PLatinum soon.

 

[Samuel]

Thanks Bruce.

 

[Steve Hoch]

It seems there are some differences in technique here, but it's all about the results. You either get the stuff looking as good as possible or you don't. It's a pass or fail subject

 

[Bruce]

Yep, many times there is more than one way to "skin a cat". My method works for me and fits my methodology. I am sure other methods work well too.

 

[Samuel]

Steve,
Here is my collection as it stands. I think the 1000 and q200 may be the ones on their way out.

 

[Bruce]

Pretty nice herd there Samuel.

Pretty nice herd there Samuel.

Thanks Bruce,
From this pic, I am kind of liking that Stainless-steel lid on the platinum.

 

[Bruce]

Yes, but that blue lid really stands out nicely.

The stainless steel lids from that generation of Weber grills are very good looking if they are in good condition and clean. I also like how solid and heavy they feel.

 

[Cody Bratton]

I’d put the blue lid on the green one. Just for fun.

 

[Samuel]

Tried Bruce's spray on bleach method and I was able to get the swing-out shelf a little more white. Tried some BKF liquid on the ss and it cleaned up better but still has some haze. I did not wipe down with simple green as Bruce suggested so maybe that is where I went wrong. However, there is some improvement.

 

[LMichaels]

Try simple white vinegar on it. Maybe even partially dilute it. The haze looks a lot like a soap "scum" type stuff or even mineral deposits of hard water. Either way the vinegar should cut right through it
