What do you use on your Stainless Steel tool boxes to keep that nice shine and or remove the finger prints? I just got my 56" CSPS at Costco a couple of weeks ago and want to keep it looking new.

I think you'll want the same kind of stuff they use in the restaurant industry. It's an foaming aerosol, but the name escapes me. I used to use it to clean our freezers and refrigerators when I worked at a restaurant. Spray on, wipe off with a rag.

You should find it at a restaurant supply store.

I use "Weiman Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish" in an aerosol can. I either got it at WalMart or Home Depot, can't remember. HD sells polishes and such for the SS grills they sell.

www.weiman.com (web site says WalMart carries it, answers that question)

Baby oil - It's what S/S oven manufacturers recommend.
Also we (the company I jokingly work for) used to make a raw aluminium (English spelling) hospital hoist, the only way to get rid of finger prints after assembly was to use baby oil.
This machine was called a Lisa - Sick guys used to get a kick out of rubbing baby oil into Lisa.

Will give the baby oil a try, it can't hurt. My kids survived using it on them years ago.

My live-in cleaning lady(you know who I mean) uses stainless steel magic on the appliances in the kitchen. You can get it a home depot etc. and it works pretty good. It puts a light coating on it that resists finger prints for a few weeks but in doesn't leave it grasy or oily which is nice.
