Try a different dealer and call the plant and ask them what would cause it.

They said it was cleaned incorrectly with something. It wasen't cause I bought it from a dealer. I'll try a different dealer, and the factory.

You might want to try a few more dealers and then call HD headquarters and have a chat with them. The service from dealer to dealer can vary greatly,although this is the first time I have heard of this specific problem. (414) 343-4680 I am sure they have an 800 number too.
