I really should cover my stuff; I have the covers, after all. But during the summer it’s a PITA to deal with them, and during the winter mold can build up in the Weber and the BGE, and until this last season I’ve used the griddle year round.
The Weber and the BGE can take it, never worse for the wear. But the Pit Boss has a matte finish that fades and that also holds oils, and it looks like hell after a while.
Back in the day I was something of a car detailing fanatic. I found the work very methodical and relaxing! Paint is paint, and there’s no reason that restoring some oils to a finish wouldn’t rejuvenate it.
I broke a whole lot of car detailing rules here. I worked in direct sunlight. I didn’t clean the surface first. I was generally careless; it’s a grill, not a show car, and it’s going to get beat up again. All I want is for it to look okay on the deck. I spent all of about 10 minutes on this. If I get a wild hair, maybe I’ll go get some polishes and compounds and the Porter Cable random out. But probably not.

I used an older cleaner wax, Meguiar’s ColorX. I don’t even know if they make it any more!
