Shining Up The Old WSM

What do you guys use to clean up the inevitable smoke and grease discolorations on your WSM's? I want to get it looking "Showroom" new this year.

Just in case there's any confusion - I'm talking about the outside only, of course.

Thanks for your help...

I've used Formula 409 spray cleaner and 0000 steel wool with good results. Scrub gently, rinse/repeat as needed.

On the aluminum door, I've used Cameo aluminum and stainless steel cleaner. There are lots of good commercial aluminum cleaners out there, but I already had this one for cleaning stainless cookware and it worked great on the aluminum door.

Here's to a clean machine,

Take some before and after pictures Frank if you can... I would love to see the results. :)
 
Frank, my company sells a product called "Simple Green" . I'm sure you could google it and find it. This stuff is great. I haven't run into a stain or spot it couldn't remove. As a matter of fact, it makes it look so good you'll have to clean everything attached or around, it makes stuff look brand new.
I used it on a carpet stain, (white) and regreted it. It made the carpet spot look brand new, the rest of it looked like an old door mat. :)
 
A good scrubbing with simple green or similar, then use a clay bar on the wet surface to maximize the reflectivity on the black finish.
 
lol, I cannot believe you are claying your grill. Too funny.

I though the same..LOL Clay bar on the smoker but it will be smooth, clean and shiny. I`m a little clean freak on mine too. After every cook I clean the outside and vents down real good before covering it back up.

WOW..............=)
 
I clean mine once a year with Greased Lightning. If it comes off in the 2 to 5 minutes I'm willing to spend wiping it down great, if not it'll ride till next year.
