What do you use to polish stainless steel?

Guy,

What do you use to polish SS and what is your process.

Will the Cape Cod cloths work on SS?

Is the finish brushed or polished?

This is by far the best polish I have ever used. It works on all kinds of surfaces, is non-toxic, comes in many different modes of application, is long lasting, safe on plastic, fiberglass, metal, chrome, stainless steel, brass, gold, silver, etc. I have several cans of it laying around.

Thanks guys!

I just have never had to polish stainless.

Here is what I use for the brushed. Get them on eBay and they really do work well.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is this thing called? I would like to get one from FleaBay but I don't know what it's called. Thanks.

Richard - PM me and I will send you what I use - we buy these cloths wholesale and they work awesome. I am not sure if you can buy in quantity less than 50. I buy them to give to my clients and will be glad to just send you a couple, so you can see how they work (which is AWESOME).
