powder coated gates dulling

Hi allWe got front gates made about 3 years ago and the finished gates powder coated in black. The finish was fairly matt rather than high gloss, and they have been fine up until now. When the brighter evenings came along, I began to notice they looked very dull and almost grey.So tonight I went out, armed with a bucket with Flash in it and a sponge pot scourer thing. I gave them a good wash but as they dried I realised that it has made very little difference, apart from removing a bit of grey-green dust from around the bottom.They almost look like an old car that needs T-Cut. Is this the case, and if so, would T-Cut for black cars be off any use?TIAAASuzanne

I think your time machine has developed a fault, Brian, or Home Owners Club has because that post is about something which, according to you, occurred ten years in the future!

There is no fault. The OP posted in 2005.
