My SS sink is far from stainless anymore. It was a cheap BOTL Home
Depot special. Is there a way to bring back some of the shine? Any
miracle product that works? Thanks.

Before you try the industrial strength pipe-eating chemicals, try
making a paste with some baking soda, dish soap, and a little water.
Scrub with a brush. Rinse & repeat if needed.

Some people swear by Barkeepers Friend. I use just plain old Comet cleanser.
It will never shine like brand new, but you can get close.

Where on earth do you find plain old comet cleanser? I've found their
website, but it's apparently not sold here anymore (Connecticut).

Polish in the direction of the grain only. Look close.
It's probably left-right as your facing the sink.

Barkeepers Friend is amazing, does wonders for SS and copper. Never
tried to polish a scratched sink before but it makes the pots & pans
shiny.

I assume (yea, I know) that you have a brush finished sink. This
finish is accomplished with these:

Get a green and a purple. The green will probably give you the
finish you want.

Sure is, I'm in Putnam. Wal Mart, Stop & Shop, Price Chopper, Hannaford's,
BJ's, just to name a few. I just bought a half dozen cans for work
yesterday.

Once you get the sink thoroughly clean with one of the previous
suggestions, try polishing it with vegetable oil (plain old corn oil or
whatever). I have older SS sinks, and that makes them shine more than
any of the MANY other things I've tried.

Hardware stores carry a tin can of polishing wadding called
"Never-Dull". It will do a very good job on your sink.

A garage or metal workshop will find one of those waterless hand
cleaner pastes. It has a powerful but non corrosive non toxic solvent
plus a mild abrasive in powdered pumice. I find it excellent for
cleaning bath tiles, the bath, cultured marble sinks and the kitchen
sink plus a lot else. This includes restoring grungy plastic items.
You don't even require gloves .
