Is there a product for refinishing stainless steel? If so where can it be purchased?

Question

I used a drain cleaner that backed up into my sink and it seems to have removed the stainless from the steel.

Answer 1

Baking soda mixed with liquid dish soap can make a good paste to gently rub on stains. Be sure to rinse the stainless steel surface thoroughly, and towel dry.

If the stains still remain you can try vinegar. Remember to thoroughly rinse and towel dry.

If stains still remain I recommend trying a stainless steel cleaner and polisher. Barkeeper's Friend is a good powder formula that can clean without scratching. Be sure to follow the directions, rinse thoroughly, and towel dry. These methods should help remove the discolorations.

Answer 2

Your sink may simply be chemically altered. It is probably stainless steel but has been chimically stained.

I worked in a stainless steel finishing plant and we used very very very fine sandpaper to finish the metal.

If you are confident that it is stainless steel, go purchase very very very fine sandpaper and refinish the sink.

Be very careful! Each stroke from the samdpaper leaves a permanent mark. Decide on a design (small circles is usually the best) and use it throughout the finishing process.

Hope this helps!
