To be honest you need a lot of time and patience frst and formeost, then a lot of elbow grease to polish iwth varying grades of emery cloth, going up to a fine buffer pad

It will be easier to go a local fabricators who specilise in SS and buy it of them, a sheet of SS 16g is about £200 at the moment , but if they have an off cut you may find they will let you have it

I use a product called Bar Keepers Friend. It is like a cleanser, but not as abrasive. Good luck!

Some years ago Solvol Autosol stainless steel/alloy polish was _the_ product to use. It should still be available from Halfords or similar outlets. By repeated application and a lot of elbow movement, an motorcycle alloy gearbox could be made to look like a stainless steel mirror. It was effective on dull stainless steel car bumpers, too.

So easy when you know how!

Clean it as you normally would and dry off, then apply a small amount of Johnson's Baby Oil with some kitchen roll. Rub it all over and it will be gleaming like a mirror and completely streak free!

I was amazed that this worked so well, but was let in to the secret by someone at a cleaning company. Please try it, you will be amazed!

There is a product made by the same company as Bar Keepers Friend, it is called Copper Glo. I have used it for 30 years to clean stainless pots and pans and sinks. The house I am currently living in, 6 years ago when I bought it, the stainless kitchen sink looked as if it had never been cleaned. I used the Copper Glo and a Scotch Brite scrub sponge and after about a week of daily scrubbing it looked like a new sink. You also need to make sure that your stainless sink does not have a satin finish. If it does it will not shine like glass, but you will get a low luster sheen from removing all the tarnish. Here is the link to the website to purchase this product if you cannot find it in a store: http://yhst-55367440605114.stores.yahoo.net/coglopo.html

Baby Oil is great for giving a shining finish
