Hey Don; I found a realy good inexpensive fix for the stainless steel. This is a excellent how to do video using, 3M Scott brite scratch pads.
This was in with the video's you sent me Thanks again!!! Kurt
‪How to Remove Scratches from Stainless Steel - Refinish Stainless Steel‬‏ - YouTube

yep nice .. just like some guy on #3 post with out video

Yep your absolutly right Pat!!!
The 3M scott brite scratch pad is also what messed it up, but it was the green one you use for pot and pans.
It makes it alot easier for a dunce like me, if I can see exactly what I have to do.
I was scared to use anymore 3M Scratch pads on it, with out seeing exactly how to do it.
Now I know exactly what pads to use first and then what pad to use second and got
to see how guys that do it all the time do it. Nothing like seeing it first hand for me.
But you had it exactly right Pat, Thanks.
Kurt

Well that's good, Kurt. Bet the boxers are glad that you've vacated the doghouse........if you keep this up you might have to build a bigger one.

yep well like i said at one time we prep GM concept rims gm show cars .. they started life out was 400 pound blocks of alum then it was a rim at 24 hours of cnc cutting but choppy . we would hand block sand the rims till dead flat so they could paint them or buff them one year we did the years line up one or two sets had to look brush look rims were i was told 25000 each so they had to be top notch so i know abit about this

I never doubted you Pat, Just my own capabilties!!!
Don I might as well just build a two storie dog house because it's just a matter of time with me.
Kurt

well if you were not so far away i would fix it for you the key is just like your video said you have to keep your block flat and straight and with the grain

Kurt,
What did you say a replacement door costs??.Any chance you could go 50/50 on that costs??.It does come down to how much you willing to spend to keep harmony with the wifely??.If you arranged for a new door and she wasn't impressed,then something else is bugging her and yes you do need to build that dog house.


Another thought is to ask this question on:

Those guys deal with stainless a lot.

Well thanks anyway Pat; I'll get by, I am sure.
I now am feeling the price of living out in the sticks.
No one out here carries the 3M Scott Brite scratch pads I need.
Not Home Dept. not Ace Hardware not any of the hard ware stores that are here in town.
It looks like I'll have to make the hour trip into Vegas for them.
Thats alright wanted to make a Sam's club trip anyway.
I have not priced a new door yet, Gary.
I am waiting to see how the door turns out first, then if it does not come out
to the wifes satisfaction then I will start pricing them.
Kurt

them pads come in red and gray by other as well auto paint store will have them

Kurt we have a stainless steel range top and boy what a pain to clean. The green scruff side of the sponge is abrasive enough to leave marks on it. I think some refrigerator magnet with a picture or something of that nature will be easiest, replacing the panel is very expensive, and in the long run you guys will put stuff on the fridge(if your like the rest of us). We have a 3" scratch on the front of ours, that now has a strategicly placed beer bottle opener with magnet on the back of it. So now I can pop a beer without hunting for an opener, and hide the scratch at the same time! A win/win!

Kurt thanks for posting the video too! Another thought is buy the pads online and have them shipped to you, probably cheaper than the roundtrip gas to Vegas! Or have Bob pick some up and drop them off for you!
