After my previous post on an !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (spoiler: none of them really did much) fellow Opponaut !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! pointed me in the direction of actual metal polish supplies, which I had thought would be much more costly. They weren’t, so I picked up three level of compound and some wheels to actually put a nice finish back on these stainless steel pieces.
Before (3-in-1 for reflective clarity):
Damnit kinja, stop turning this sideways
Not terrible but certainly not the shine that it could and should have. I think the end result (just did this little section for now; need to set something up in the garage to do the rest so I don’t make too much of a mess inside).
After:
So there’s that. In short - if you want to actually polish stainless, you need to get real metal polish, not the “polish” crap that comes in bottles. Turns out it’s cheaper, too.

Personally I use a product called Flitz. It has some sort of sealer in the polish to help slow down the comeback of new corrosion like carnauba wax or something. works really well with a mother’s powerball. Believe it or not, my high school band teacher told me about it to use to polish my 35 year old school tuba. works great on all metals, paint, plastic and fiberglass.
I am in no way sponsored by these people, I just love the product.
