I would be grateful for any recommendations on how to get rid of scatches on stainless steel splashbacks in the kitchen. 

Many thanks.

I can't see how you can remove scratches in metal.  Best thing is once clean rub over with a small amount of baby oil on a soft rag should bring it up to a nice even sheen.  :)

Please, do not use a green scourer, it'll make things worse !

I have found that nothing really gets rid of scratches on stainless steel. and please do not use a green scourer, it will make it much worse.

Many thanks for your replies.  Yes, it was the green scourer that scatched it.  A lesson learnt!  For information, the stainless steel is a brushed stainless.

I will try the baby oil to give it a shiny sheenas I am also looking for something to give stainless steel an even shine.  Any other suggestions on this would be helpful.

Thanks.

hi there

if its brushed stainless, then a plastic surgeon could help

they use wet and dry, vary the grades, and then go inline with the brush, and hey ho minor scratches are dimished

its done a lot on new builds.

Hi,
Not sure about the scratches but i have always used WD40 on stainless steel and a soft cloth it makes it look like new.
Give it a go  ;)
