most finishes are applied at the mill literally with sandpaper.
the trick would be to find which grade of paper matches the
existing pattern (probably 600 grit wet r dry) and figuring out
how to keep the motion of the paper
nice and straight. if the grit seems to be the same, but it still
doesn't look right,
you may need to use the paper with lubricants like water or light
oil, etc.
if there's somewhere on the unit that isn't too visible, i would
do some testing there first,
in case your first attempts make spots worse than the original
problem. if the existing pattern is not straightline, all bets are
off bill

Hello group,
Building a new house and several things had to be redone. The
most important was the vent hood over the cooktop which is a
brand new Dacor. The people who were working on the vent
scratched the front edge of the Dacor. They are very fine
scratches, much like the scratches that make up the pattern in
the stainless. It appears to me that if one was to use a light
abrasive you could correct the scratches back to original. The
builder said "Barkeepers Friend" should fix it right up. Again
these are not gouges, but fine rubbing scratches so it looks like
an easy fix but wanted to check. Thanks! John=20

Thanks so much..It looks like the factory finish is "sandpapered"
its not that high gloss shine like the put on some stuff. It is
the "industrial looking" fishish which looks as if it's put on by
finely sanding. These are tiny, and if I were not so picky I would
probably not bother with it but would like to make it like it
was..Luckily they did not gouge it or anything. This looks as if
they drug something across the front edge. Might try the really
fine sand paper on the back edge and see how it behaves with the
pattern. Thanks so much! John

Try what the builder told you, should do it.
