Caring for Landau Bars

One of the most effective ways to clean our stainless steel Landau Bars is through the use of basic automotive polish. Using a type of polish that is designed for automotive use will help to remove dirt, grime and other contaminants. A small amount of polish onto the surface of the Landau Bars, can remove built-up dirt and restore the shine of the stainless steel. In addition, this polish will provide a layer of protection against future damage and help to keep the luster of the Landau Bars. It is recommended that Landau Bars be cleaned with automotive polish at least twice a year to keep them looking their best. This frequency of cleaning will help in the prevention of the build-up of dirt and grime, which can become more difficult to remove over time. Depending on your climate, where your vehicle is stored and the use of your vehicle, you may want to consider cleaning your Landau Bars more often. Regular cleanings will also help to prevent damage to the stainless steel, which can occur as a result of exposure to harsh weather conditions and other environmental factors.
