    Or Restore4. The one you can buy on HomeTV Shopping (although I haven't seen their ad for the longest time).

    Try mo Autosol metal polish, meron yata to sa mga DIY hardware stores, nakalagay yun sa parang toothpaste tube tapos yung kahon niya gold and black ang kulay, mga P150 yata. Used it on the chrome trimmings on my car and was very satisfied with it.

    imho, pag gasgas, normally restoration and repaint ang ginagawa bro. hindi yan makukuha ng mga cleaning compounds.

    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.

    ^^^^ 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.

    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.
