I have a couple of stainless steel pots that have had long usage and
don't look so hot.
--snip--
I also have a stainless steel boiler (18/8), which is one of those
coffee servers you see (or saw?) in coffee shops. Makes a nice boiler
(that's what I use it for), but is now so tarnished that on the bottom
in places it's is downright black. I'd like to shine it up too, at least
occasionally, if it can be done without too much effort.

Thanks for any tips.

Run down to your local Wally World and pick up a 4 oz. tube of MAAS
Metal Polish for $3 and change. I just tried a bit on my stainless
steel sink and it amazed me in ten seconds flat. If not, try the DICO
(which Ed keeps forgetting to tell us where he sources.)


Force Machinery, Union, NJ. It's a long ride for you. g


Joisey? Ayup, it would be. I drove through there twice (to and
from planes in Newark in '98.) You can keep it, thanks.


They're well known on the commercial side of the business. I'm surprised
you haven't seen them
around.

I see that it's available online. Check out Dico's site while you're at
it.
They have some tips that look useful.


They have compound sticks but no polishing cream, I see.


"Polishing cream"? What's that, facial moisturizer for machinists?
