Do you use the Wenol with Scotch-Brite or simply with a rag. Living near the coast (Pattaya, Hua hin) makes it worse. In a previous life? I tried that cleaner on stainless urinals in a bar. It didn't do squat. I think elbow grease is the only real choice? Just a rug, haven't tried with Scotch-Brite. Will try that ... rudi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went into our work shop took a piece of 304 shiny stainless and rubbed it with some Scotch-Brite as if I was cleaning it. Albeit without the petal polish. No difference. I even compared it to a piece of brushed stainless and it still looks the same. We are talking front gates and railings here not some highly polished mirror finished art installation. I suggest you do the same on a sample or small piece and see for your self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either one can be used to remove minor rust discoloration which can happen with lower grades of stainless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannot Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 I used to put baby oil on stainless appliances to make them look good, dunno how long that would work outside though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naam Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 for medium grade stainless steel the optimal cleaning agent is the pee of a virgin collected one day before full moon. source: www. naams-bs².edu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGW Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 ^In lieu of the above not being available, as Naam rather cleverly doesn't disclose his source, probably due to the shortage of celibate women in the land of smiles? Why not use "wet & dry" paper? 1500 or 2000 grade would quickly restore the stainless back to its former glory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnie the Minx Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Carpet, I know but the place gets slippery too often. We put this down when we have visitors and with young boys they always run around and fall over, kids. Hubby likes fish so he put this in too. Not sure what do do with slippery pavers so this is the best solution. The gate and fence is all around, haven't been broken into yet as it's a great security place.

Minnie the Minx Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 The marble benches we bought years ago, great for parties, when the boys were younger they used to stand on them and check out the fish. House is to the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnie the Minx Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I won't post our front gate, what I found to be really good on stainless steel is a product called 'Cif'. It's actually made to clean kitchen stainless steel and you don't need to put in the elbow for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I saw an interesting design the other day. Also a two rail design but the second rail was only used at the end of the gate where one end had a right angle section, a foot or less, with a wheel on. A good idea as this provides support when the gate is half open. If i wander that way again i will take my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely logical, Thai logic that is. Homepro sell self-adhesive black and yellow warning tape. I have it on the entrance to the chicken house (no we don't have very tall chickens).
