Michele on Oct 08, 2016Try a clean cloth and some WD 40. Spray the WD40 onto the stainless steel and rub until it shines! This will minimize the look of the scratch.Helpful Reply

Iris on Oct 08, 2016Go to Home Depot or Lowe's or whatever store that carries sandpaper and buy a sponge sanding pad. This will be a sponge material covered in very fine emery, buy the finest grade available. Sand your sink, going with the grain. There will be several different grain directions. Use Comet or something like The Perfect Sink polish product. This is easy, takes less effort than you might expect, and you will be amazed at the results.Helpful Reply

Arnie White on Oct 08, 2016I restore our stainless sink to like new condition using comet cleanser and a scouring sponge. The technique I use is to add enough water to create a watery paste and scour using long strokes and a lot of elbow grease that follow the existing "grain" of the stainless. Deeper gouges can be dressed out using 80 and 120 grit sand paper, again being careful to use the existing grain as your guide followed up with the scouring sponge for a uniform look. I have also used my detail sander but swirl marks will need to be hand sanded out afterward. Finally, rinse thoroughly with water, towel dry. I cap the job with a light spritz of stainless steel spray which is sold everywhere.Helpful Reply

Wayne Alan on Oct 08, 2016If they are very light, then using soft scrub, a sponge and a hook attachment for your drill. Cut the sponge in a circle to match the round hook attachment. Apply some soft scrub and let the drill do the work.. If it is a deeper scratch, use a coarse abrasive like valve grinding compound then switch back to the soft scrub to get back the luster of the stainless steel. You can obtain the tool from most auto body supply stores such as Napa Auto PartsHelpful Reply

Elaine on Oct 08, 2016We have very hard water and cleaning those stains and the scratches takes work. When the stainless steel is relatively clean, use cooking oil - Canola or olive or whatever you use - to mask what you couldn't remove and shine the steel. A little oil on a soft cloth rubbed onto the stainless steel makes it look like new.Helpful Reply

Sonia Burrows on Oct 14, 2016I tried some of these on my stainless steel stove...the wet aluminum foil didn't do anything and neither did the Comet cleanser. The range is only two months old and my hubbie decided to drag the pot across the front of the range and scratched it. Will try bar keepers friend next.Helpful Reply
