Default dishwasher crusting knives

After posting here about the stainless knives in our cutlery set getting
crusted up, I now need to know how to polish them up to match the shine of
the rest of the set. They are looking dull and overcast at the moment.

If they have actually gone brown, as stainless tends to do when overheated,
you will need a fairly abrasive polish, otherwise, there are plenty of metal
polishes in your local store. If you want to restore the original mirror
finish you will probably need a buffing wheel and the appropriate lapping
compound.


That is what I was expecting. Never having buffed any steel since I was
at school, I am out of touch with any of the modern polishing techniques.
