Polishing stainless steel with RO 90

[Holzhacker]

Hi guys, i need to polish up some stainless steel kick plates. I'm figuring my 90 will work great with the polishing pads. Anyone have any compound recommendations?
Thanks, Markus

I've used Autosol and it works great.

Amazon sells Autosol that's specifically designed for
stainless steel as well.

The metal polish can be used on other metals when you're done with the kick plates
where as the stainless steel isn't as versatile.

Thanks for the referral. I'll order some.

Anyone ever try to get graffiti (scratched in) out of stainless steel with an RO?

It will work, sand then polish to match existing finish. If it is a brushed finish the last step will need to be done by hand.
