You can remove streaks and finger prints by using furniture polish or oil on a clean soft cloth. Just wipe it on and watch it disappear.

OK GUYS here is the low-down.

The (in my professional opinion) most effective method of cleaning and treating Stainless appliances is with the use of mineral oil. Using a clean cloth apply the oil (sparingly you don’t need much) to the machine. Use long straight wipes. Then wipe the excess off with a dry towel. IT IS THAT EASY! =)

The oil will leave behind a thin film which will keep water/grease from staining your machine! Re-apply as necessary.

BE ADVISED! the use of oil Can/May slightly change the color of your machine, test in an inconspicuous corner and see if you mind the effect.

As far as scratches go, really anything deeper than 1/32 of an inch will require the machine to be refinished. IE re brushed. Compound sanding will leave you tired and frustrated.

Experience: I work for a major appliance retailer and you better believe my display machines look sharp!
