I recently purchased this product. Unless I'm mistaken it would appear that the bar surface does not have an acrylic or polyurethane finish (i.e. you should not put drinks or hot plates on the surface directly or risk damaging the finish. Can you...

That is true! I had a piece of glass cut to size on the middle part, and that worked PERFECTLY!

Can't answer this question as I haven't experience the situation. I don't see why it wouldn't, but then again your guess is as good as mine. These are gorgeous pieces which look great over my bar.

I'm not sure why Jen, but I have two of the clear acrylic racks and am very happy with them. They blend in just fine with my kitchen, which has a lot of stainless steel in it (to include a stainless steel oven, stovetop, and appliances).

There was no protective coating on our piece. We put several coats of cedar stain/weather-coa on our table for outside use. So far, it has held up well.

Yes, it's a gloss finish so I would Def. Add a glass top (should have done that myself).

I use a post-it note as a buffer between the foam and the door frame. Works like a charm, no black marks or damaged paint. There is a little bit of wear and tear to the frame, but only YOU will notice. Thats been the case for me. I've had the bar for 3 years with almost weekly use.

I don't think it's acrylic,,,, because acrylic is - in general - hard and not flexible... I think it's medical grade Polyurethane

I've never noticed any of that but I would say use Bar Keepers Friend. It good for stainless steel.

I didnt have any issues with mine, however, sometimes the finish is thicker at the end of the bars, make sure this isnt the issue.

The finish is rather nice and very durable. But one must keep in mind that it is wood. And just like all wood products, it can be damaged if abused. If scratches and nicks are a concern, perhaps some type of covering should be used to keep the finish flawless?

I am not able to do an analisess but believe the finish is not coated. Bar has been on my bike for two years and stored outside in in FL year round and it still looks like new. A great improvement to my 1990 Trek mulitrack.

I'm not sure, but I did a quick google search & something from Amazon showed up! http://askville.amazon.com/cleaner-acrylic-tub/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=3020759I also found this, it says do not use Bon Ami: http://www.ehow.com/how_6499726_clean-kohler-acrylic-tub.html Does your acrylic tub have a pristine finish? Just to be safe, I would contact Bon Ami directly & see what they say. Hope this is helpful to you.

I would clean it with "Bar Keepers Friend". That works with most discoloration on stainless steel.

Never had a coating/frosting problem with Tervis tumblers. Do get it with some of my cheaper wine and tumbler glasses as well as Kosta Boda crystal plates. Can't figure this damage out. Neither can the DW detergent manufacturers either.

I had large dog visitors not live in ones but saw no damage. This is very dif than urathane. It is a subtle finish that looks like wax or hand rubbing. I personally want a glossy more bling look and probably won't use again. But if I had an old historic house I would use it on that.

I had this in my previous apartment, as someone else mentioned, I had a black line, from the rubber above the frame and in the door frame where the bar rests, this can be removed with a "magic eraser" cleaning product, (a plain old pencil eraser seems to work as well). But I also started to get some cracks on the upper right corner of the wall where the door was. Not sure if this was because of there bar (I assumed it was). For the record this was a really cheap built apartment with paper thin drywalls.

I clean it with bar keepers friend or Bon Ami. I don't have streaks, but I do have scratches. I like that look though. It comes with a guard to protect from scratches, but I don't use it.
