INSTRUCTIONS FOR FINISH MAINTENANCE 

OF TORKLIFT PRODUCTS 

POWDER COATED STEEL: 
To keep your Torklift products looking good follow these guidelines. All 
steel powder coated Torklift products are sandblasted for maximum 
adhesion and use a high quality industrial urethane based powder coat. 
Due to the extreme, harsh, undercar environment that your Torklift 
products live in, (consistently sprayed with corrosive road chemicals 
such as salt, and road debris), Torklift does not warranty the power 
coated finish. 
To minimize corrosion from these factors on powder coated steel 
products, Torklift recommends regularly cleaning and inspecting the 
powder coated surface and touching up any affected areas with an 
enamel or urethane based aerosol paint product. If there are any areas 
of surface rust, there are also aerosol spray rust converters available on 
the market that can be used as a preparation to touch-up paint 
application. These finish maintenance products are available at any 
automotive parts supplier. 

POLISHED STAINLESS STEEL : 
TorkLift utilizes quality grade 304 stainless steel in our stainless steel 
polished products. 304 stainless 
steel is well known for its anti-corrosive properties. However, in some 
environments such as coastal regions or when coming in contact with 
some road chemicals, corrosion may occur. For a quick clean simply 
use WD40 and a cloth rag. We also recommend occasional polishing of 
our polished stainless products to maintain their attractive finish. Use 
an approved stainless steel chrome or aluminum mag wheel polish 
cleaning product which can be purchased from any automotive 
parts supplier.
