Though very durable, the surfaces can easily become scarred with minor scratches. Dab a little bit of vegetable oil onto the scratch and then wipe it away with a dry paper towel. This will diminish the appearance of small scratches. In some cases this will successfully make the scratch unnoticeable, but for most scratches rebuffing is necessary.

Key Takeaways:

  • Apply a small amount of the scratch remover compound to a microfiber cloth and then very gently rub it back and forth over the scratch, working in the direction of the metal’s grain
  • Gently wipe the surface with a fresh, barely damp microfiber cloth to remove any compound residue.
  • Use only as much pressure as is needed to remove the scratch; don’t be overzealous or go deeper than necessary.

“Look close and you’ll see that stainless steel has brush marks on the surface—this is called the grain, a result of the manufacturing process.”
