Personally, I would try a product like Liquid Gold or Restorz-It. You may want to think twice about applying this stuff to fine wood furniture, but this is paneling, and you are not going to hurt it. The problem I see is that whatever you apply may not totally blend in the unsun-bleached areas - it may continue to be darker than the surrounding area. You could gel stain it, but the darker areas may still show through. I would not paint this paneling. You have a cool 1960s-70s vibe going on that isn't going to change to a cottage look with the use of paint.

Hey there, congrats on the lovely kitchen reno. As for cleaning, I use stainless steel wipes on my stainless, you just give them a wipe and then use a soft cloth (ideally microfibre) to wipe off the cleaner. You can find them at Walmart. I use cerama bryte on my glass cooktop, you can also buy cerama bryte sponge things to go with the cleaner. Just squirt some on, rub it around with the dry sponge and wipe off with a paper towel or microfibre cloth. For wiping down my white cabinets I again love my microfibre cloths (which by the way you can buy a big pack of on amazon), or I use a soft wet sponge first if somethings stuck on and microfibre after. I also love the microfibre for wiping down trim. I’m not much help for the granite as I have quartz so I’ll leave that to others. Also, I just bought some handy oven liners that just lay on the bottom of the oven and catch spills and prevent baked on messes, and I’m pretty excited lol. I never thought I’d be so enthusiastic about cleaning my kitchen but since we moved into our new home a few months ago I find it pretty satisfying haha. I hope this helps!

Porcelain traditionally handles just about any cleaner you can throw at it - Steamers included. What you are looking for is a product that does not leave a residue. To get tiles clean, you need to be able to REMOVE the dirty water...and for some the only thing that works is a shop-vac.

Petrushka, hello neighbor. I am at Port liberte. Regarding the exposure, I like to grow annuals and perennials so north is not my friend My balcony does get some east and then overhead and west sun, mostly a few months of spring/summer, the peak season so I get enough sun to scrape by. But I am constantly adjusting the location of the several containers and stands of all sizes to maximize their sun exposure. I get about half a days sun in all from May to August mostly. I did manage to grow a motley crew of Dahlias, poppies, sweet peas, petunias, Lobelia, verbena, pansy, portulaca, and delphinium, Dipladenia, night Jasmine, and God knows what else on the tiny 5x15 balcony. My neighbor on the hand has the opposite exposure which I am positively jealous of. Of course, I don't need to water as much. Tropicofcancer, my houseplants are too many (not as many as yours though) and the balcony too small to all get a vacay outdoors, it is rationed as much as possible. I don't have much pest problem with houseplants, except the occasional spider mites, or mealy bugs. It is the annuals and perennials I brings indoors in September/October that are prone to fungal infections and aphids. But I love the blooms they provide throughout winter with the addition of some grow lights. I surrendered this year and resorted to bayer 3 in 1. It was a great success. Unfortunately, I can't avoid crowding, I have too much to grow in too few sunny windows.
