Default Cleaning stainless steel appliances

We recently acquired stainless steel appliances and have tried 4 different
cleaners ... they all work to some extent but all have problems. The worst
problem is that they tend to interact with each other and produce a streaky
mess.

WD-40 works like a champ, is faster/easier, and is less costly.

I know, a bit OT ... please be kind.

WD40 will eventually turn to a gummy mess, its really a drying
agent.........

A much better cleaner is that waterless hand cleaner used in machine
shops and garages. It takes out grease and stains and even polishes
the metal. All it needs is a dry paper towel to finish up as it does
not leave any residue like oils or soap.

Check out a janitorial supply. They make a stainless "oil" we used to use
to shine the pi$$ out of drinking fountains. On the dixie choppers, I use
ATF. But it collects dust. But on a lawnmower, what the hell.

I'll continue to use the WD40 and report back in six months (even if my
appliances slime over and begin to disintegrate).
