20 Best Polishing Compound For Stainless Steel (2023 Updated)

Great for polishing a knife edge. I have some of the red color and it’s good too, but this is better for certain metals. If you have a really hard steel blade use the green and then finish off with the red.

Just with red alone you would need to strop 3 or 4 times as long to get the same effect than using just the green.

Ideal for removing sanding marks and light scratches. Seems to work best with a nylon bristle brush due to being quite hard-does not work well with a soft mop.

Good jewellers rouge. Nice texture compound which gives a fantastic polish to gold, silver or other metals. Highly recommended.

I used this product to remove a heavy oxidation from a boat that has not been waxed in at least 3 years. I was skeptical that this product would work well enough to remove the heavy oxidation. I was expecting to have to wet sand the gel coat to remove the oxidation.

To my surprise this product did an amazing job. I used this product with a DA sander with a medium cutting pad, I highly recommend you do the same if you are looking to remove oxidation from your boat.

I recommend this product and will definitely buy again and use at the end of each boating season.

I am so pleased with my Full Gleam Stainless Steel Cleaner and Microfiber Mitt Polish Kitt. I’ve not had a housecleaner come in since the start of covid and it really showed. My husband did the best he could.

Let me clarify. I’m 79 and quite limited with what I can do. However, I put on the mitt and sprayed small areas at a time a did my whole kitchen today! It may have taken the whole day but I did it! It looks glorious! I’ve never had it sparkle so clean even when my appliances were brand new! I’m certainly going to explore t what other products I can use for other chores because cleaning and polishing my stainless appliances was SO easy.

Thank you Fuller Brush!.

I love stainless steel appliances BUT I hate the fingerprints that appear daily. I have tried so many “stainless steel” cleaners and nothing has worked until now. Full Gleam Stainless Steel Cleaner is awesome and the mitt that comes with the product might be the key, who knows.

Easy to apply and my appliances just shine. LOVE this!.

Several years ago I purchased all my stainless steel kitchen appliances for our new kitchen. It was a mistake. Their operation has not gone well and they look terrible most of the time. The stainless actually stains and those stains don’t go away!! I was pleased to see that, while it didn’t take away all of the stain, the Fuller Brush Stainless Steel Easy Clean definitely made a big improvement.

I’m so pleased. Perhaps in time all of the stains will be gone with repeat cleaning. Thank you.

I’ve been using Bar Keepers Friend cleanser powder in the gold can several years ago after a random purchase. What’s interesting is the great story behind the product which was accidentally discovered by a chemist, tweaked and put into production since the year 1882.

I like the fact that it’s non-abrasive with proper use and always using water with the powder. Be sure to read and follow instructions and visit the manufacturer’s website. The main component of the product is Oxalic Acid that naturally occurs in the ever humble Rhubarb plant.

I have used this powdered cleanser, always with a damp or wet cloth, on my smooth top stove at least 1-2 times a week for almost 7-8 years and the black smooth top looks as good as new, no razor blades required.

Glass shower doors and metal tracks (no more soap scum), sinks-kitchen and bath gleam, BBQ grill, mistakenly scorched or burned pots, pans and casserole dishes, rust, soap scum on acrylic tub and tub surround (safe), toilets – bowl and outside, scuff marks on walls and hard surface floors, running shoe soles and so many more life happening things that we all face.

This product is definitely multi-use. I’m so glad Canadian Tire carries this product. The Bar Keeper’s Friend website also offers many tips and ideas. Depending on the severity of the task, heavy duty grime, scum, neglected stovetops, etc.

may need a little elbow grease and a small window of sitting time (a few minutes). Nothing is ever instant, but it’s one of the safest and best cleaners out there for surfaces you never thought possible to revive.

Go get this stuff and give it a whirl. You’ll be happy you did.

This stuff is the best!! I swear by it and I’ve recommended it to different friends and family members. All I use is a soft wash cloth and some warm to hot water with it maybe some dish soap depending on what I’m cleaning.

I don’t even use scrubbers in my kitchen anymore unless I am using a scrapper for my cast iron skillets. Things I have used this for with great success is for removing rainbow colors out of my stainless steel pots and pans.

They look like new! To Remove old grease on outside of pans. Build up and discolorations on shower tile. Even some stains on walls. I have used the liquid version to remove build up residue and scum on my master bath shower glass and it works better than anything I’ve tried to use! When other cleaning products fail in my home on stains that are stubborn this is my go to.

I moved into an apartment in June. The bathtub drain wash disgusting and I tried all the hacks to get it clean. I use Bar keepers friend for other cleaning and figured I’d give it a try as a last resort.

I’ve got 3 kids and one of which is an infant. Needless to say I didn’t like the thought of them bathing with that filth. Got the drain wet and covered it with bar keepers friend let it sit for 3 minutes and I WAS SHOCKED! The grime and layers of scum literally peeled off! The stains that were left were easy to scrub off.

The rest of the apartment is silver so I laughed seeing the copper Come through. But I am happy to say I have more faith in bar keepers friend than ever before! Thanks for the ability to wash my kids in a completely clean bathtub!.

Mega- value ! The tin is equivalent to 10 x 75 ml tubes @ an average price of 8:00 each so do the maths. Best metal polish out there bar none, having used this product for the last 40+ yrs on anything automotive from Bikes, Cars, Vans and custom projects.

Remember not to overload the amount you use (most people tend to use far to much at a time ending in a mess) little and often with circular motions and CLEAN polishing cloths. It will take time, the more you shine the higher the sheen.

If you are a keen motorcyclist like me then you have more than likely polished up an exhaust system or two in your time!lol I have ONLY ever used this product in all the years I have ridden bikes (some 29 years now!) & have always managed to get superb results using various techniques I have employed over the years! I used to only buy the standard tubes of paste BUT over the last ten years or so I have bought the 750 ml tins as I go through too many tubes too quickly! I have found the consistency slightly different with the tins – this could be differences in batch quantities – generally the tinned stuff is slightly thinner in my opinion than the tubes BUT not enough that it affects the performance of the paste! These tins represent better value than the tubes as your buying in quantity so are getting more for your money.

The tubes are more convenient for getting the right amount for whatever area you are doing though as you can squeeze out just the amount you want whereas the tins it’s a dab & scrape off on the edge of the tin affair.

You do have to stir the tinned stuff from time to time as the ingredients can separate if left standing a long time between uses. The tins also make useful nut & bolt holding cans for your workshop when you have finished them too! lol ;o) All in all a market leading product that every home car/motorcycle enthusiast should have in his/her workshop!.

Autosol Metal Polish works well on restoring chrome and other metal parts! 1kg tub better value compared to the tubes! Handy for vehicle restorations!

I am very disappointed with this product. It didn’t remove the rust from my bike at all. Not one bit. I tried to polished my kitchen sink with this paste. You will be tired of brushing/rubbing it off.

There is no amazing shine or glaze after rubbing. This product has gold medals on the packaging – it’s a marketing trick. This product is useless and doesn’t work as described. Also there is no instruction inside of the box how to use this questionable paste.

Do not buy this product.

if you want to clean metal to a high level of polish this is the goop to use. you put a little on your finger then rub. keep rubbing suck it up and keep rubbing. then take a soft cloth and wipe off the dirt.

once you do that take a buffing cloth and rub, you should see the shine withing a few seconds. this company has other products for Aluminum, and boat etc. best metal cleaner ever.

I have been using this product for over 75 years and still consider it the best metal polish ever made. I am glad to see it come in plastic containers rather than the old style metal cans which would rust around the caps, the only fault I ever found with the product.

Its usefulness goes well beyond the applications listed on the container. Great stuff.

Yes — sterling silver! Gently removes tarnish without the offensive odor. I am a collector of antique silver, and I rank “Blue Magic” as among the top three polishes I use for various applications — and “Blue Magic” ranks best for STERLING silver.

Also recommended by various fellow collectors. BTW — I have seen this same seven-ounce size for as much as twenty dollars — so buyer beware!.

ive been using this stuff since the early 80s. i would use it on chrome, and ive used it on bug shields and tow truck lenses and also plastic headlights now, its non abrasive and is easy to use. i highly reccomend blue metal magic, the results are incredible for the price.

I have been restoring headlights for several years. When headlights get moister in them the chrome inside has a tendency to get very dull and sometimes even gets eaten away. Also after several years the chrome reflectors start to turn yellow.

I have tried several chrome polishes in the past but I was never happy with the final results until I used Simichrome Polish. This polish is a little expensive but a little goes a long way. It is worth the money spent.

When I use the product I apply a small amount with a microfiber cloth and polish with a thick soft microfiber cloth. Great results. I definitely recommend this product.

Flitz is an exceptional metal polish. Perfectly safe for silver, gold, brass, and nearly everything else. It does the job, and does it EXTREMELY well. I’ve only used it on metals, so can’t comment on its efficacy for plastics and FiberGlas(the proper Trade Name), but with metals, it stands above the rest.

Note to anyone using the paste: The TINIEST AMOUNT is all you need. Really! Daub a tiny bit onto a cotton rag, work it into the rag, and start polishing. The rag can be used over and over again, with only the smallest amounts of fresh Flitz needed as you go along.

The rag will get absolutely black, and you may be tempted to throw it out, but it’ll work wonders with any new polishing you wish to perform. Washing-up of your hands is easy afterwards, with just soap & water.

Buff with a clean cloth afterwards. Restoring a shine is as easy as grabbing the seemingly-filthy rag and using it again, without application of more Flitz. Yes, this is true. The product is so effective and simple to use, it’s an absolute must for anyone who wants an economical solution to all of the Tarn-X and other over-hyped stuff.

In reusing your cloth, even the tiniest tube of this stuff can last an amazing amount of time.

This is the only polishing product I’ve ever found that words really well with epoxy resin jewelry. When used with the FLITZ microfiber polishing cloth, it shines up resin pieces that have gotten dull from regular use.

It will not take out deep gouges but for normal wear and tear, it works wonders. The tube is small but a little bit of polish goes a long way. It doesn’t have a bad smell and it is a “green” product which is unusual compared to other metal polishes.

I will buy more of this brand when the tube runs out. I recommend this product.

Flitz is absolutely the best metal polish that I have ever used to polish brass, silver, nickel, chrome, and even cleans up gen bluing, without damaging the bluing. I wish that I had known about Flitz during my ROTC days when I spent hours polishing my brass insignia and buttons.

Flitz is soooo much faster and easier than products like Brasso.

Works awesome to clean and polish metals and fiberglass. It is expensive, however does take small dabs to work. These tubes will probably last my lifetime depending on how many vintage items I choose to clean with them.

Polishes chrome that is dulled or has surface rust with ease.

Makes quick work of tarnish and buffs to a beautiful finish, and seems to make less mess. It warns about using on “thinly plated items,” so I think I’ll stick with other polishes for my plated things.

It says it contains a tarnish preventive, we’ll see! I am very pleased with this, it really exceeded expectations. My house is sparkling with polished silver!.

I have bought this product before. This time, however, I bought the ‘tube’ version – what a disappointment – the product is obviously mixed with a carrier but in this case, the carrier had separated from the solids, so was absolutely useless.

The only way I could use it was to empty the entire tube, mix it well and put it in a new container. The product itself is very, very good – does what it says on the tin, but I think the company MAAS need to do some ‘quality control’ on its product to overcome the separation problem, or only package the product in a container that can be shaken before use.

I actually contacted MAAS about it – they were not interested.

This polish works very well. That being said, be aware that once you’ve cleaned an item, it will require washing with lots hot soapy water to remove the polish. Not a problem when cleaning flatware or polishing serving pieces or a Tea set.

Problematic if cleaning Jewelry or small decor items. I had to use a soft nail brush to remove the polish from the twisted bezel of a necklace, it was very difficult to get the polish to wash away. The Silver dresser set shines beautifully but getting the polish out of the deep Repousse was time consuming and irritating.

Just be aware of how the stuff behaves. As I initially stated, it puts a beautiful high gloss finish on silver surfaces.

I purchased this Maas Polish because I was searching on Youtube to find a video to show me the best and easiest way to clean my Tiffany silver jewelry. I watched tons of videos, but then I stumbled upon a video where this girl was demonstrating how she cleans her Tiffany jewelry with the Maas Polish.

The results were amazing! So, I decided to purchase some to see for myself, and I couldn’t be happier with how wonderful the Maas polish made my jewelry shine! I even used it to polish my faded out headlights on my car, and the Maas polish made my headlights look new! People were asking me did I buy new headlights 🙂 Wonderful product for its intended purpose!!.
