I came across a review that suggested the finish on this refrigerator could be “rubbed off” with a paper towel! Is that true or even possible? null

Question

I saw the same review and don’t plan on using paper towels. Manufacturer recommends microfiber cloths. I purchased microfiber cloths to use.

Answer

The clearcoat finish is wearing off our handle-less model in front door areas that have received the most finger contact, mainly during closing. This began after 8 months. Nothing whatsoever to do with paper towels, stainless wipes etc. All other appliances we have are stainless (Wolf and Miele) WITHOUT the clearcoat finish that the Bosch fridge has. No issues with those. It would be very similar to the clearcoat deteriorating in the areas around your car door handles. However, that does not happen as the clearcoat used on your car was a quality product that was applied correctly. Very disappointing craftsmanship (or lack of) for a Bosch product.

Yes it is true if you rub too hard! Not the quality you would expect from Bosch. Just be very careful. We use Weiman Stainless steel wipes with no problem.

The finish is beautiful and holds up well. I read that also but it’s not true of the unit I got. It also does not show fingerprints much at all.
