1) Do you have a Weber? 2) Is the paint/stain a big "smear", or more "spotted"? 3) Is the paint a product you have, or someone painting for you? Check the can if you had it, & let us know! 4) Is it a very recent spill? We'll pretend it's Latex for now... * Soak a towel in hot water, & drape it over the affected area. * Keep towel wet & periodically re-apply/mist hot water for a day. * Use a 3M scrubby-sponge & ligthly scrub WITH the S/S graining.

We have a gunnite pool with Cool Blue Diamondbrite coating, 2 years old. We had an algae problem earlier this season, so we bought a couple different "black algae" stainless steel pool brushes and went after the algae. In many of the places where we brushed with the metal brushes, we now have gray colored stains on the Diamondbrite. We read somewhere that this may be a metal stain due to manganese that is part of the stainless steel (?). Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a known solution? Thank you very much!

I have the same problem with my stainless steel dishwasher and everywhere I read, no one had any complaints about this model, so I'm thinking I have a defective one. I called the manufacturer and they wouldn't do anything since they said I waited too long. I looked at various ways to clean and one suggestion is to use baking soda and water. With a soft towel and in a circular motion, rub the paste mixture all over it. When done, apply some water and wipe it down with another soft cloth. I then use a stainless steel polish and cleaner I get from Amazon. I spray all over the front of the dishwasher, and then I will use a paper towel and very gently just wipe off some of the residue. If it doesn't look right, I will then use this spray again and then gently use the paper towel to wipe it again. It's a continuous problem and one I just to have to deal with for now. Mine needed to be done today so I took a picture of it before during and after. In the after picture it looks like has some streaks or something but it's reflecting things from the other wall because in person it is bright and shiny again. I hope this helps...

Wipe the spot with acetone on a rag please. It's probably silicone.
