   What is used to polish fine scratches out of stainless steel appliances?

   Thanks,

   Is there any advice out there?  I have the same problem.  Are there any metal finishing techniques I can use?  Does anyone do it commercially?  We have scratches on our new appliances and would like to return them to a new condition.

   There are 4 colors of Scotch Brite pads. White, green, maroon, and gray. Green and maroon are supposed to be the same. Green is FDA approved for use on objects that hold/ contact food. But I digress...

   Start with the softest, white, and rub the ss in the direction of the existing grain/ brush pattern. If this does not work completely move on to the green pad. All final strokes should be long to blend in. That should do it. Do not move on to the gray. It is too coarse and will ruin the ss.
