and it has left streaky, run marks which wont come off no matter how hard I clean. Think it may have been damaged with the bleach, is there anything that will remove them???

As you've probably discovered, stainless steel and bleach don't much like each other. It's a no-no. Try using a stainless steel polishing powder (like Barkeeper's Friend), and polish using a soft cloth in the direction of the 'matte grain' if there is one. Finish off the polishing task with a scant layer of olive oil, and buff it off with a dry soft cloth. Don't use kitchen towel; use a dry soft tea towel.

Call me crazy but I clean houses for a living been doing it for 17 years and the best thing to use on stainless steel is liquid plumber...Yes your reading this right... put a small amount of a throw away cloth and rub it on the entire steel surface. It will make your sink look brand new. It will take out any stains...rust, lime etc. You can use this on your pots and pans too. Just make sure that you rinse it very well. Wishing you the best.

I have the perfect solution for you I use a natural stone cleaner for most if not all my household work , It cleans Gold, Silver Brass, Stainless Steal Bronze, all most all metals, The product I use is called Perlglanz Putzetien www.promonov.com . Sure you can find a similar product in one of the big stores . the good think about this natural stone cleaner is it dose´t scratch the metal & it´s great for getting rid of limescale brings up the bathroom to a shine clean´s, cleans many thing´s

I have found that Mr Muscle glass cleaner seems to work the best, The oil solutions left streaks. You have to be careful on stainless as some finishes have a plastic lacquer coat and you can really mess this up.

Johnstons baby oil works a treat.
first clean it with lemon juice, then a nice rub down with Johnstons baby oil ( always wipe along the "grain" of the stainless steel)

Try vinegar. It can do almost anything.
