5.0 out of 5 stars worked great on KitchenAid products, October 12, 2007

This review is from: Scratch-B-Gone Stainless Steel Scratch Repair Kit (Kitchen)

I have a built-in 48" KitchenAid refrigerator that had some buff mark type scratches accross it that I thought I would have to live with. Then someone took a green pad or other abrasive to my K.A.cooktop that made terrible scratches. So I ordered the Scratch-B-Gone to try to get the scratches out of the cooktop. I figured that I couldn't mess it up much more than it was and it was in a lot less visible location than the refrigerator scratches. After viewing the "how to" video I worked on the cooktop. The results were incredible. The S-B-G product did exactly like what was illustrated in the video. The grey pad exactly matched the original scratch finish put on by KitchenAid. With that success and a little trepidation I started on the refrigerator scratches using only the grey pad and lubricant. The area I did took out all the scratches and blended in great with the original finish. Just remember to always go in the direction of the original grain, pick up the pad when moving to another location. All you're really trying to do is replace the original scratch grain as close as possible and this product does that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing product, April 23, 2008

This kit is amazing! A housekeeper scrubbed my stainless steel refrigerator with something abrasive and scratched up the door. This kit took 10 minutes to completely restore it. It is very easy to do and works quickly. You do have to use some elbow grease, but it's worth it. It looks like the scratches never happened! As for the people who left negative, as the product states: you have to use it on REAL stainless steel with no clear coating. A lot of stainless steel out there is synthetic. A way to test if you have real stainless steel is to see if it's magnetic. Real stainless steel will not hold a magnet. This product will make fake stainless steel worse. Also, most stoves don't have the clear coat because it will melt off. Just make sure you buy the right product for what you have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product - but do the research first, August 2, 2009

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Scratch-B-Gone Stainless Steel Scratch Repair Kit (Kitchen)

I have a Bosch dishwasher and a Frigidaire microwave. I can attest to the fact that this product should not be used on Frigidaire "Easy Care" stainless, as the coating prevents proper scratch removal action. I used it on my "real" stainless dishwasher to remove a few scratches and it works great. One note on "real" stainless steel and whether it can hold a magnet: I have some rudimentary experience in metallurgy while working with alloy steel way back when. I have also researched the internet and have found opinions from various scientists and metallurgists on the topic. These generally follow the opinion of Dr. Peter Eng, a physicist at the University of Chicago, who states that different grades of stainless steel contain different proportions of nickel (added to help keep the steel from cracking, and to allow for the addition of an increased level of carbon for strength). Eng says that stainless which contains more than two percent nickel interferes with what he calls iron atoms' "magnetic moments." So - according to him, only "real" stainless with more than 2% nickel is likely to be unable to hold a magnet. Both of the appliances I cite above are "real" stainless steel, as are various kitchen items that we have (i.e., a cocktail shaker, several spoonholders, canisters, etc.), and our sink. Only the sink and the cocktail shaker DO NOT take a magnet; all the others do. This is undoubtedly due to the stainless used in the sink and cocktail shaker containing more than 2% nickel for the additional strength needed for their use. I include this somewhat lengthy and complicated explanation for those readers who might have been concerned that their "real" stainless steel might be "fake" because it won't take a magnet. Supposedly the non-magnetic stainless might be a higher grade/more expensive product, but magnetic stainless is still "real" stainless nonetheless.
