Saw this for possible faded grill help

Interesting, if someone picks some of the stuff and tries it out on a faded black Genesis lid, please let us know.

 

[Cody Bratton]

I’d like a better before and after, side by side but it definitely looked better.

 

[Bruce]

I would also like to see how well it held up after a cook or two

My guess is that it's not a polish that actually removes oxidation but a silicone spray that won't last long. If it was a polish, I'd think it would need to be rubbed in and then the oxidation wiped off.

I tried a food grade silicone spray. Made the lid look great but removed the paint off the end caps I just sprayed. No idea on how long it lasts as I haven't actually used the grill yet. Im hoping to put it to work next weekend!

Looking at Tom's explanation I seriously doubt it's silicone

I am going to order it. My super faded Weber Flat Top tops will make a perfect test.

I have little interest in what “Horseman” has to say, I’m not impressed by him. Now, when Jon says something…I will be ALL EARS!

I personally like Tom. I don’t always agree with him on his approach or conclusions, but I feel he is a very honest, down to earth guy.

Same here. Have actually run into him. Nice guy. Personable and seems pretty much the same guy you see/hear in his videos.

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

His “persona” in videos is just not my cup of tea. He may be a great guy but…

Well, I am taking one for the team and bought a can of the “Pimp Your Grill” stuff. It better be good. $27.98 “on sale” with shipping!

Jon, I’m dropping a little something in the mail to help defray that cost and by way of thanks for the valve help!

 

[Bruce]

Jon, please keep us posted. I am sure you have a couple really good test lids to try it on.

Hi Jon, how long would you test before giving a thumbs up? I know you can rub oil onto a faded black lid and it will look ok for awhile.

 

[Jon Tofte]

That’s definitely true. Sadly, I have parked my unfinished Flat Too in my shop until spring. I will use it as a guinea pig over the coming months and post updates. Of course, that’s not the same as a kettle or gas hood being used with high heat, but it should give some idea of its effectiveness.

For my offset smoker, which is more of a matte finish I use food grade mineral oil. It is used in food processing plants all over the country to service, clean and protect metal. It is safe to be around food and the result is spectacular. Wipe everything down using a Scott's paper shop cloth with just plain water. Once it dries go over it with a thin coat of food grade mineral oil.

Do you mean another thin coat of Mineral oil?
