Stainless does not "rust" as you think of regular steel rusting with a red oxide on the surface that flakes off. If you see red rust, there are several possible reasons embedded in the surface. These particles are much less corrosion resistant than the stainless steel and rust making it appear that the stainless steel is rusting. Stainless steel should never be cleaned with steel wool.In most cases, light staining can be removed with a fine abrasive cleaner or non-metallic abrasive scouring pad. Some of these products will scratch the finish. Apply the cleaning product in the same direction as the polish to minimize damage. Products that are safe for cleaning glass or automobiles are less likely to damage the finish. Many kitchen cleaning products and stainless steel cleaners contain chlorides and should be thoroughly rinsed off after cleaning.

 

NeverDull is great. Chemically cleans and powerful.
I use to detail my bike chrome with it, but it is agressive and began wearing out the chrome. It's excellent for once a year or restoring.
