I've tried them all, spent hundreds of dollars in the process and they were all useless. The greatest and hands down best of the best is....SPRAY NINE. You can find it at Home Depot or Lowes. I use 3 clean white washcloths....two damp and one dry. I spray one of the damp cloths with Spray Nine and apply to the stainless steel and let dry. Once dry use the other damp cloth to wipe down, then dry and polish with the dry white cloth. Your stainless steel will look AMAZING & PERFECT every time.
WD40
I sprinkle Bar Keeper's friend in my sink, dampen it and make a paste. I use a wet cloth, pick up some of the paste and "wash" my stainless with the paste. Use a clean wet cloth to rinse your piece. Keep rinsing your cloth. Then just dry with a soft clean cloth. I then use a spray counter top polish sprayed onto a clean cloth and "polish" my stainless. I only have to do this 2-3 times a year. In between, I just use a damp cloth to wipe of food particles or water marks and dry with a clean cloth. This is super inexpensive, gets everything off--grease, water spots, food particles, fingerprints, etc. and is fast and easy.
CLR is a calcium, lime and rust remover solution. Home Depot or hardware store. It's worth a try.
Here's a post that might help - https://chascrazycreations.com/homemade-cleaner-for-stainless-steel/
Use a non-abrasive cleaner like Bon Ami, Comet, Bar Keeper's Friend to buff out the scratches. These cleaners come in cream and powder forms, so if you select the powder, you'll need to make a paste of it with water. Rub with a moistened cloth or a sponge it in the direction of the grain, do this and check occasionally to see if the scratches are gone, if not keep on going until the scratches are gone. If you find you need a little bit of abrasiveness, a whitening toothpaste will do, again go with the grain and use a soft toothbrush. Wipe away the toothpaste with a wet rag , looking to see if the scratches are gone. If so, then out on some oil or a polish, then condition the appliance where you did the work.
