I used a guy named Paco. I picked him up at Home Depot for $25 and he washed, waxed and detailed my entire boat & truck.

well it depends if they got scraches or not...... i have restored alot of ss for the cars i build, and just I restored the ss on my boat... if no heavy scraches i went to harbor freight got the elec die grinder, the Demial is great but not big enuff for me, harbor freigt also has pads for drill/diegrinder. use the white polish/rues with the kit...it will come out like a mirror....

Exactly!!
A dremel will not do what you need. If you need to polish you need the right equipment. I just did this today so you can see. First you want to POLISH, not clean with a bathroom cleaner. Bathroom cleaners are GREAT after you polish to maintain them and remove the hard water stains. Before you polish you can use muriatic acid to clean the stainless.

These looked identical earlier.

You want something easy? Honest to god, use the BioKleen Hull Kleener. There is literally no effort. Spray on, and soft brush off and done.

Agreed! I use the same, BioKleen Hull Kleener, just spray and rinse and they always look like new.

I use Bon Ami cleanser, Mitch at MitcherT got me hooked on this stuff. I started using on my vinyl rub rail. I tried it on my tips because they looked bad, cleaned them right up, look like new.
