How To Remove Scratches On Stainless Steel Sink

[dyleen 0]

My stainless steel sink is "disfigured" Anyone knows if there's any way to remove or make the scratches less obvious?

Everytime I see it, I feel so sad, but can't say much lor, cos hubby scratched it, and if I complain, he won't be very happy.

Can someone help me?

Yes...u r able to do it...but it not easy...

Deep scratches or dents may be nearly impossible to remove, but surface scratches can be blended in by using a commercial-grade abrasive pad. A 180-grit pad or higher is a safe start. The main rule is to stroke or move the pad in the same direction as the existing grain. While blending in a scratch, you may create an area that looks different from the rest of the countertop. A light, feathering stroke will tone down changes. Another option is to hand polish the entire sink for a blended finish. Deeper marks require a more aggressive abrasive pad or a backer on the pad for more pressure.

hi jaskel, thanks for the reply.

the scratches are mainly surface scratch, swirl scratch.

The sink is a slight matt finish, so the "shiny scratch" stands out.
