Must be some cheap anodizing. Quality stuff holds up to most things. Care to post a pic? Especially if you can do a before and after pic. We all take pictures of our machines, I bet you have one from when you first got it.

I use Madacide spray and cavicide and bleach wipes on all of my machines and station. Madacide will corrode cords and certain plastics, if left on for too long. But I've never had an issue with it damaging the finish on my machines. Weird.

To discolor our anodizing you will have to have special acid to break it down Or leave it soaked in acid for a long time. Anodizing can fade overtime but not overnight.

Remember anodizing is controlled acid/ electro plating process. Our anodizing is sealed otherwise it will stain your hands.

However batches do come a tad lighter than others some times, but there is not way that I or you'll be able to remove anodizing by simply wiping down madacide. The same anodizing we use on our machines is the same anodizing we use on our Clicks and they have been tested to sustain up to 260 F of heat, pressure and most acidic sterilization solutions.

I took a look at the pictures you sent me and they match with the Kryptonite color we make unless I'm missing something that I can see on the picture
But again. Feel free to send it in and we'll be glad to take a lol at them.

The following is a comparison between your edge and a freshly anodized Halo2 Notice that the Halo picture had a yellowish lighting overall.
