Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Josh Young: Many customers ask about how to get scratches off of stainless steel. Well, I found a very inexpensive way to do that. Amazon, for only $8 or at Home Depot there’s a kit called Rejuvenate. Rejuvenate is actually three levels of scouring pads that will help you smooth out the scratches on stainless steel. What comes with it is you have a light, a medium, and a heavy, coarse scouring pad along with a handle, microfiber towel and some lubricant.

What you do is you start with the lightest pad first, and you look at the grain of the stainless steel and in the scratches itself. You take the pad and you lightly rub the scratches out. What happens is going with the grain the scratches will gently disappear, and it works very well with light and medium scratches. And then you can use a heavy grit sandpaper that it comes with for the deep gouges. It actually will lighten up those gouges. It does a very good job doing that. Once you’re done, you just take your microfiber and you wipe it down and shine it up, and it does a very good job. So, I do suggest trying Rejuvenate.
