Maintenance of anodized aluminum

Anodized aluminum is durable and resistant to rust, but regular cleaning prevents accumulation of dirt and deposits. Proper maintenance of your roof rack not only keeps it looking like new longer, but also keeps it performing at its best.

  • Lightly soiled surface: Use lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Clean gently with a soft sponge or cloth and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
  • Heavily soiled surface: Use a special solvent-based cleaner or a non-abrasive polish that is safe for anodized aluminum. Rinse thoroughly after use to remove residue.

Attention: Avoid alkaline cleaners (such as products containing ammonia or sodium hydroxide). These can damage the protective coating, cause discoloration and shorten the life of the material. Instead, use pH-neutral or specially recommended cleaners for aluminum to prevent damage. Dishwashing products such as Dreft, etc., are not PH-neutral and thus should be avoided.

Checking and maintenance of fasteners

mobietec's accessories are designed for maximum strength and safety, but periodic checking of nuts and bolts is recommended to ensure long-term optimum performance. External factors such as heavy use and changing road conditions can affect fasteners. Checking them regularly and carefully tightening them if necessary will keep all parts in top condition without additional wear and tear.
