How to keep stainless Frididaire microwave smudeless?

Answered
I bought this 4 years ago and it was advertised as smudgeproof. I'm here to tell ya, I will not ever buy another Frigidaire appliance. We've just replaced our 2 year old side by side with a 3 door/indoor LG black stainless. Anyway, back to the smudgeproof stainless microwave. Vinegar?? Nope

Rubbing alcohol or cheap vodka.
Seriously. That's what we used in commercial kitchens. We always received our A rating! My girlfriend uses it in her house on stainless. Works like a charm. Place the liquid on a cotton or microfiber cloth and wipe in the direction of the grain.
She lives in the South in a humid climate and some ninny told her to use olive oil. She did. A very light coating. They went away for a few days and came home to a rancid smelling house. Yuck! And her hubby had a cow when he found out she used the expensive fancy fu fu $50 a bottle olive oil on the stainless appliances. Olive oil has its place, not in a humid climate on a refrigerator or other stainless appliances.
I told her to Google it. She did . . . The rest is history.

I just use water and a microfiber cloth. Make sure you dry it well with a microfiber cloth.
There is a counter top spray protector which brings back the sheen to your basins and vanities. I recently tried this on small stainless steel appliances and it worked beautifully.
After cleaning it use a little mineral oil on a clean cloth and wipe it down. Commercial hood cleaners use it to shine and smooth out the stainless steel grain.
