Stainless steel may begin to look dull or develop water marks over time. To bring back a stainless steel item’s original sheen, do a quick surface polishing with a home remedy, like olive oil or flour. If your stainless steel piece ends up getting scratched, you can polish it away with a professional stainless steel polish and a power buffer. You can read the following detailed instructions to apply polish professionally.

You should fix a buffing pad onto a power buffer. In order to polish away scratches, you will need to use a buffing pad that is slightly abrasive. Stainless steel is a hard metal that does not scratch easily, but when it does scratch, it takes another rough surface to polish that scratch away. Select a non-waxy stainless steel polish. Waxy polishes can actually leave behind a film. This film can gradually make your stainless steel look dull as time passes.

Pour the polish onto the buffing pad. A dime-size amount will usually work, but follow the manufacturer's instructions for the polish and the buffer in order to determine a more accurate amount. Place the buffer at the top corner of the surface. It does not matter if you start in the upper right or upper left corner, but most people find it more comfortable to move from left to right as they polish.

Then you need to switch the buffer on. Each power buffer turns on in its own way, but there is usually a button, switch, or trigger somewhere on the side. Move the buffer in a circular motion. The motion of the buffing pad will usually help guide your hand, but whether it does or does not, you should gradually move the buffer across the surface in small circular motions.

After you finish passing over the entire surface, turn the buffer off and put it away. Take a clean, soft cloth and buff the surface of the stainless steel by hand using firm pressure and small circular motions. You should be careful and get rid of hurry just as you use aluminum wheel cleaner to clean the wheel all by yourself without a professional.
