i suggest pa masilya at spray ulit na lng ng kulay nya...

there's no other way. kahit i-rub mo ng todo yan may uka pa din galing sa gasgas.

have you tried using a wheel cleaner? bought one from blade and its only 99bucks. or mothers' mag and aluminum polish.

^^^^ Finally one correct answer for the stain question...

Mothers, Eagle One, Meg's and other companies have dedicated stainless steel cleaners... Use those...

Compounds are for paint.
Sandpaper are for paint and severe restoration as well, good luck getting the fine scratches afterwards.
Glo and other metal polishes only work on oxidation, any other form of stains cannot be removed the the polish. Hence the term polish not cleaner.

As for the deep scratches, that'd be tough... Paint will rarely match stainless steel surfaces except if you weld another piece on top of it or something like that.

went to a car wash that had megs stainless cleaners... galeng nakuha nga...

but i think i've already damaged it with my rubbing compound attempt. parang namumuti (hazy) na yung stainless... bawas yung kintab nya, not like before, huhuhu

Exactly, 99% of the time, DIY without the proper knowledge (including well-intentioned internet advice, but incorrect and proven wrong advices), results to permanent damage...

The most common in the phil is compound and sandpaper advices that damages surfaces to an irreversible damage.

same tayo bro, sa akin pina pa repair ko, lahat kase apat ng mags ko may gasgas, at deep scratches, may term sila buffing lang daw kailangan nyan, i just waited for an hour kuminis ulit, gun metal, parang nagpa polish kalang. yung nga lang 3k yung ginastos ko which is usually the amount for the repair.
