ya etched stainless steel ??? it would be interesting to see if it can be fixed if not a good liability policy I use mercury insurancse $650.00 per year $500 deductible million dollar coverage but thats all I need.
I dont do a lot of huge commercial accounts.
The other thiing would be if its just on the door see if the manufacturer sell the front piece or just the door? Good luck!

That's the reason that I didn't use acid on the hospital tile I did 2 years ago. It would have cleaned better, but with $$$$$ in new SS equipment just installed, I didn't want to buy any.

I had the same thing happen last year. Call back was about 6 months after.

This is what worked.

Small bottle of Brasso
Series of floor pads: Brown, Green, Red, Hogshair..ect. Use the small round piece in the ones you already have. I've heard of others using fine stainless steel wool as well.

Put a bit of Brasso, go with the grain. Start with maybe a red then go up if it doesn't take it out.

Brasso smells pretty heavy but it worked great.

If it's polished stainless not even scratch b gone can help.

Can't beleive Mike didn't suggest this but "Barkeepers Freind " use as directed.

that baby is yours.

"Bar Keepers Friend " is a life savior...I keep some @ the office for some accidentals like yours. Gotta work it but it will ALL come out.

We get ours here @ Winn Dixie or Publix.

I had to buy a bottom fridge door and an oven drawer. I broke even on that job.

 

[sam miller]

it would be intresting to know if the barkeepers soap would take out a acid stain on the fridge.I might but some stainless steal etch it with acid cleaner and see sorry I needed to go to bed

 

[sam miller]

I cut up plastic trash bags and tape everything off to avoid splashing stainless steel.

What the hell did you just say?

 

[Brian R]

Painters tape and painters paper...or whatever it's called. You can buy rolls of both at Lowes. Cover it up from the bottom to about knee high.

Easy fix. The stainless isn't etched, it is oxidized(basically rusted). Barkeepers friend and some fine and med steel wool. Start with just a little drop of friend and go with grain with med steel wool. Switch to fine with another dab of BKF and finish it out.

There is absolutely no reason why you should ever have to replace any stainless cause you got some cleaner or acid on it. The only exception is the coated crap. Buy one of those home kits from scratch-b-gone. They work if you are not a total moron. I have made a ton of money using that goofy little kit. I have also been reconditioning stainless grills for several years now, before those kits came out.

Don't let them f*%k with you. All stainless can be repaired except the coated crap.

He said hes going to buy some stainless and throw acid cleaner on it, and test barkeepers friend with it.

He's not nearly as bad as Caesar.

Mine must have been the coated crap.

Right there is a good piece of advice. How much do I owe Mikey for it?

Sheila Shine works good on brush finish metals.
That and some steel wool (with the grain) will make Ti look better than new.
