I’ve asked this question once already, but nothing seems to be working. I love this whatever cookware, which was shiny when I received it, however my husband put it in the dishwasher and now it is discolored. Any other suggestion. Also I need the best mixturge to clean outside windows.
Thank you!

Make a paste of cream of tartar and rub it on the surface, and let it dry. Then use water or vinegar to rub it clean.
I've done that too! There's something in dishwashing soap that eats the coating on aluminum stuff; you're going to need to scrub and polish it. Here are some options:

Try the product called Barkeepers Friend.Cover the pan and let it sit. This stuff cleaned my grubby ,rusty stove hood and does amazing job on my cook top.
