If it's a deep scratch, you can't. If it's a very minor blemish, your single best approach would be to scrub with #0000 steel wool (#0000 is the finest grade available), rubbing only in the direction of the "grain" of the stainless - probably vertical. If that's not enough, you might try #000 or coarser steel wool. When you get to a point where you're not benefiting much any more from the steel wool, you need to work your way all the way back to #0000, one step (#3 to #2 to #1 to #0 to #00, etc) at a time. Failing to work your way back up will result in a really unsightly appearance in the area where you worked.
There's no steel wool any finer than #0000; it leaves a nearly-polished surface.
Take special care NOT to use any circular motion as you scrub. You need to scrub very religiously in the direction of the grain.
THERE IS A STAINLESS SCRATCH REMOVER SOLD BY MOST APPLIANCE STORES / ALSO HOME DEPOT . HAS HAD THIS PRODUCT .. MAKE SURE YOU GO WITH THE GRAIN . OR IT WILL GET WORSE ..MM
Firstly remove the handle, find the "allen" screws at underside of handle ends. Start first with a coarse towel and "re-scratch" the area. If that was not enough becoming more aggressive, use much care/ gentle pressure- a 3m scotch brite #7447 "going with the grain", you in essence are removing those scratches with scratches. Use DeBruce Polish with the grain for rourine cleaning and touch-ups. We use DeBruce Polish on all of our stainless steel.
Non-toxic, non-abrasive and odorless, DeBruce Polish also works on glass cook tops. We get DeBruce Polish at
debrucepolish.com.
there is no paint for the brushed steel outside but you can get a stainless conditioning kit from the manufacturers this helps hide some of the smaller scratches if it is a big/deep scratch there is nothing you can do with it unless its on one of the doors and the panels are available to purchase
IF IT IS BRUSHED STAINLESS, AND THE SCRATCHES ARE REALLY BAD, YOU COULD TRY SOME STEEL WOOL TO SOFTEN THE SCRATCHES, BUT IT WILL BE A TRADE OFF OF MINIMIZING THE SCRATCHES AND CAUSING A SMEARED LOOK TO THE BRUSHED STAINLESS PATTERN.
brillo a little harsh, finer steel wool would be better ive even used the scour side of the sponge, using wd40 as a "cutting oil" lightly go over scratched area. look close and follow the grain of the S/S. just likje wood S/S has a grain direction
