If there is still staining left on the stainless steel bowl then use the burgundy or grey surface conditioning pads.
Use the pad on its own and not with the sanding block.
Fold the pad over a few times as this will give you a good grip on it.
Make sure to determine the grain direction.
Carefully rub around the bowl in the direction of the grain.
Re-apply the metal restorer and allow a few minutes. Don’t allow it to dry.

How to remove scratches and scuffs from your stainless steel sink tops and splash backs |
The key to success is using the correct abrasive.
We use aluminous oxide cloth pads to remove scratches on the stainless steel surface. This abrasive cloth has a topside coating. This helps to stop, glazing over. This is due to heat building up on the work surface while polishing is taking place. This coating also helps the abrasive cut more freely.
Instructions for use.
Fit the abrasive pad marked 180 grit to your sanding block.
Make sure you know the direction of the grain finish. On sinks and worktops this is generally left to right.
You can use a little of the oil on the abrasive. This will help the abrasive to work and give you a better overall finish.
Take your time over this procedure as this is the most important part of the job and will affect the overall look when you have finished.
Apply pressure and carefully rub over the scratch only overlapping by around 1 inch either side of the scratch. Use the front end of the block for this operation.
Keep a check on the grain direction and make sure you are nicely in line with it.
You will see the scratch gradually disappear.
Using the same pad but now in its flat position work over a slightly larger area and this will start to blend your repair with the original finish.
Wipe clean with a soft kitchen paper towel and remember to keep with the grain direction.
If you feel the repaired area is smoother than the original finish on your worktop then rework the repaired area using the 120 grit pad.
Wipe clean with a soft kitchen paper towel.
Now to blend the repair.
In the kit there are 3 grades of surface conditioning pads.
We call these.
Black = Coarse
Burgundy = Medium
Grey = Fine
Using the coarse conditioning pad with the rubber sanding block, blend over a slightly larger area than before.
Change to medium conditioning pad and blend again working over a slightly larger area.
Wipe clean with a soft kitchen paper towel.
Apply the Stainless Steel Care Oil and polish with a soft dry cloth or a soft kitchen paper towel.
Repeat this application until your top is completely clean.
This Stainless Steel Care Oil has been tested for use in food processing plants and is safe for use in kitchens.
Please note: Avoid direct contact with foodstuffs. |

Useful Tips |
| |
Some areas can be hard to repair or clean if the access is restricted. You can use the abrasives in smaller sizes without using the rubber sanding block.
If you have a very fine brushed finish on your stainless steel you can remove scratches using a fine grit abrasive cloth in conjunction with a metal polish.
Only use these products on a grained / brushed finish. Don’t use these abrasive products if the finish is mirror polished.
