...that show every drop of water or smudge: this stuff is the only cleaner that works 100% of the time on 100% of all the standard stainless appliances.. it ain't the cheapest on the market, but I've tossed away close to $50 on other products that just don't do what they advertise. You MUST remove any dirt, food particles, etc., first from the surface of the appliance you're cleaning.. then apply the Shiela Shine to a clean cloth and apply "with the grain" of your stainless steel finish; use the same cloth to remove any residue.. really fast and simple.. and somehow it sets up a barrier for future fingerprints, etc., although eventually you will have to repeat the process.. but it's TOTALLY painless and really a terrific product,

The scent (or smell) associated with the use of Shiela Shine is strong and not very appealing, but it dissipates/fades in less than a minute..

Shipping is always a pisser; why not order enuf of this stuff to put it over the 25 dollar limit w/Amazon and get it shipped free.. it'll probably be a lifetime supply, because you don't use a great deal of it for each "treatment".. I ordered 2 of the aerosol cans.. I don't think the quart cleaner or polish was available at the time I ordered mine, so cannot comment on what they're like.. this "testimonial" pertains to the aerosol.

Was at my wits end trying to find a great product for all my stainless steel appliances, even tried commercial products used by all the local restaurants but just couldn't find the "right" one. My daughter-in-law suggested Shelia Shine - so I ordered my first can 2 years ago. This is the most amazing product. Do not need a whole lot....goes very far with only a little bit on the cloth. I love the "citrus" scent. I recommend it to everyone and send it to all our family & friends as "new" home gifts for the ones that have stainless in their kitchens. There isn't enough that I can say about this product but that it's the best!!!

I purchased this product based upon reviews which suggested that this product cleans and shines. It is marginal to ineffective at cleaning stainless steel; however, it is excellent for protecting and shining stainless steel.

Here's the 411: If your stainless steel appliances are dirty, clean them thoroughly first with a solution of baking soda and water. Scrub, scrub, scrub and only WITH the grain of the steel. DO NOT USE A 3M GREEN PAD - it will scratch. Use a sponge and baking soda.

If there are scratches from everyday use on your appliances, this is your opportunity to eradicate them. Use very fine sandpaper (300 to 800) to sand the scratches out by hand, using your finger and a small bit of sandpaper. Don't panic if your hand slips and you make a mistake and go against the grain, just sand AGAIN IN THE DIRECTION OF THE GRAIN and your scratches should disappear. Wipe the micro shavings/dust clean with a soft microfiber cloth. Do not attempt this step on stainless steel which does not have a directional pattern as you will simply make a mess of your finishes.

Then, when you have cleaned your appliances and they are as clean as you can get them, you should apply Sheila Shine on a soft, lint free cloth.

Here's what the Sheila Shine does, IMHO: it shines your clean appliances and puts an imperceptible oil-like clear coating over the clean stainless. Why would you want such a finish? Because, next time you have splatters, smudges, etc., you can wipe down your stainless with a clean microfiber cloth, moistened if necessary, and the usual kitchen splatter will easily slide off.

It is important that I direct your attention to the fact that this product smells like lacquer thinner or gasoline and you wouldn't want to use this just prior to having guests. Choose a day when your cleaning daemon wakes you with a mission to compulsively clean and you have no one coming over for at least two days to perform this task. Then, later, when your guests do arrive, they will marvel at your blazingly bright, seemingly new stainless steel appliances!

This product is amazing! We just moved into our house and have all stainless steel appliances. Even brand new, nothing else could keep them clean. This leaves no streaks or filminess. We love it!

Been using Shelia Shine for years on our boat. Now using it on a new stainless steel grill. Works well.

I ended up buying this because I couldn't afford to buy more of the sample that came with my stainless appliances (Signature Polish, something like $50 since they make you purchase 2 bottles), and was crossing my fingers it would work, judging by the reviews. Well, it did. I ended up shining my bread maker, kitchen faucet, and toaster as well. I'll probably shine everything I can get my hands on at this rate. I have had no streak problems at all. My fridge looks great.

For anyone who might have used the scrubby side of a sponge on their stainless fridge and are now sad-faced over the resulting fine scratches: I used 300 weight sandpaper (very fine) and sanded in the direction of the stainless grain until the scratches disappeared. Then I shined it with Sheila Shine and they are completely gone and my fridge surface looks perfect again. Good times in stainless-ville!

Enjoy, Sheila Shine is so snazzy I'm thinking about using it in my car (though the fumes might make me drop dead).

Sheila shine was recommended to me by a friend and I will not use anything else.....It is the Rolls Royce of stainless cleaners......I have never used anything that works as well as this product does.....it has a nice clean scent as well......

This is one of the best SS cleaner out there. It works fast to clean dirt, very fast in restoring shine and somehow keeps the shine lasting longer than other products. I was told this product was used in the 70's for shining bank vaults. I read a lot of reviews on the internet and the reviews point to this product often. I am glad AMAZON has a great deal on the overall price for such a large volume. I ended up giving to my friends and they rave about this anytime SS discussion is brought up. Quite sad the appliance stores push the manufacturer product (Whirpool, Maytag, etc) which is far far inferior and costs a ton more while keeping products like this in the back shelf. Thank God for the internet where the best products will eventually find its way up the ladder.

Great stuff, hard to find, but Amazon made that part easy. This products really makes stainless steel sparkle with minimum elbow grease.

I worked in a hospital many years. The stainless steel sinks always looked bright and shiny, so I asked Housekeeping what did they used - Shiela Shine. Nothing else I've ever purchased does as good a job.
