That happened to me, too. I nearly went ballistic when I saw the scratches! I had looked at the sink when it was in the box and everything looked fine. The GC called back the fabricator to ask what had happened, and they claimed they didn't do anything. They suggested that the scratches were there when I got it, but just didn't see it until the light hit it a certain way. I'm not sure whether to believe them or not, especially after the guy tried to tell me we never told him I wanted a negative reveal for the sink, then admitted to the GC that he just forgot. (They had to redo the sink area.) I started searching for scratch removers. I saw the Scratch-B Gone you are referring to. I also picked up some Rejuvenate from Home Depot, but I have been too chicken to use it, afraid I'll make it worse. I have since seen other scratches, and I'm not nearly as upset as I was when I first saw them. (Steam was coming out of my ears at first!) I'll post back if I decide to try the Rejuvenate. Or I might try it on our fridge, as that thing has tons of scratches from the previous owner.

I am sorry Tibbrix, but I do not agree with your instructions. To clean a stainless steel sink, use Barkeepers Friend on a sponge (not a scouring ball or any abrasive pad), and dry with a paper towel or microfiber cloth. From the Kohler website: - Always apply stainless steel cleaner/polish with a nonabrasive cloth or sponge, working with, not across, the grain. - Do not use steel wool, wire brushes or abrasive sponge pads. - Cleaners containing chloride are not recommended. If used, rinse the surface immediately to prevent corrosion. From the Franke website: Never use steel wool to clean your stainless steel sink. Persistent stains, including rust, can be removed with a variety of mild non-abrasive stainless steel cleaners such as FrankeâÂÂs Inox cream, Autosol Shine, and others. Always rinse thoroughly after using any cleaner. As a sidebar, and I am sorry to contradict Hollysprings whose posts I always think are excellent, I have had 2 Silgranit anthracite sinks in previous homes with hard water, and neither ever showed mineral spots. This is one of the leading reasons why people choose Silgranit sinks over stainless steel. This post was edited by Mrs_Nyefnyef on Mon, Sep 22, 14 at 8:42

Claga, I know nothing about steel wool so can not comment. But I do use Barkeepers. It is not going to get the scratches out but it does help polish the Stainless so it does not have such a deep grove. I use this and then after a stainless steel spray like Weissman. It really looks wonderful. Barkeepers is almost as magical as Bitsya's work. I must say one of the fools in my house tossed a pitchfork size giant grill fork into the sink and made a nasty scratch. His or her name was "I didn't do it." Mr or Miss "I didn't do it" seems to be the one who has made my life harder than it should be. Dents, scratches, .... I have since gotten over the drama of these scratches and reminded myself my kitchen is for use not just to look pretty... The old saying "Beauty Fades but Dumb is Forever" applies here. Most people will notice the beauty, elegant function and intelligent design of your Wolfe range. Not the scratch. And if they are true friends they won't say anything. : ) But if they do, ignore them and pop back into GW and know you are not alone with your scratch. ~boxerpups

The appliance may have a coating over the SS. If it does, acetone will most likely remove that protective coating. If you use acetone, tape off the unaffected area with painter's tape. Use a q-tip to apply the acetone, keeping the paint wet until it softens enough to pull it or scrape (plastic scraper) away.
