3M Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish, 21 oz Aerosol

This stuff actually works. It doesn't take much, and the 21 oz can is barely half used, all these months after buying it. I love it.That said, I bought it for $10 and change. I've seen it for sale on Amazon for as much as $50 for the same can. What are people thinking? $10 seemed like a lot of money for a can of cleaner, but I was so frustrated with my stainless steel appliances looking like crap, I was willing to risk it.Best $10 gamble, ever. Do it, you will not regret it.Our dishwasher was the worst, as it had streaks from harsh detergents down the front. I'll admit they are not 100% gone, but I thought it was permanently ugly, and now it is only visible from certain angles. I'm very, very pleased with the improvement, and it seems the polish also adds some protection. The streaking had been slowly getting worse, due to being near the sink. Now, besides visibly improving, it also is keeping the front of our expensive dishwasher from getting new streaks.So, yes, it is not perfect. But after suffering with my new stainless appliances for a year before I found this 3M product, I am thrilled at the extreme level of improvement over every other thing I tried.I only use it once every week or two. In between, I just wipe down with a damp sponge, kitchen towel, or paper towel, depending on what I'm cleaning up. The polish might need more applications in a household with little kids. But the adults around here are not impressively clean. I wipe up the fridge at least three times a week, and sometimes ten times.Also, it does not leave a waxy build up, it is not sticky, and it does not make fingerprints more visible after applying. It seems to manage to make the surface cleaner, and protect it from getting dirty for a while.You do have to put some elbow grease in, to buff it after applying, and you do have to read the instructions to buff in the right direction, compared to the direction of your stainless steel surface. You might not be sure which direction that is at first, but if you can't work it out, just try buffing one section up and down, and another section right and left, and you'll see which looks better. Not really hard, but it takes a bit of time on a big fridge surface, and it does matter that you buff in the right orientation.Worth the five minutes.If you've just gotten a big stainless steel appliance, don't wait for it to get something on it that will mar the surface. Protect your pretty new surface with this stuff. And when you see that it isn't perfect, don't make yourself crazy. This seems to be as good as it gets.If you've unfortunately gotten some ugly spots or streaks, keep using this stuff. The more times you use it and buff it, the better it gets at those marks. It takes time, and it isn't perfect, because the surface of the steel got messed up, and you can only do so much for that. My dishwasher looked significantly better after about five applications (over a couple weeks), and more importantly, stopped getting more streaks now that I use this regularly a couple times a month.My only fear is the can will last long enough that by the time I need a new one, some marketing geek will take this off the market. I wonder how long it lasts? Maybe I should buy another can before I run out.

1 - Seller was eAngler thru Amazon. The cannister came in a medium sized box packed with foam. Excellently packaged.2 - This is for one 21 ounce cannister only. I read the first review and was hoping it would be for a case, but it isn't. So it is rather pricy compared to other products (Wow, etc)....but I have to say it's well worth it.3 - Performance:This product was recommended to us from the installers who delivered and installed our new SubZero. I've never heard of 3M making a stainless steel cleaner before, but we gave it a try since it was recommended. Got the shipment yesterday, and just used it today.It sprays out a white foam, which you then wipe and polish until it's dry. Easy and straightforward. No different than waxing you car....except that you don't have to polish it very long, and it does not leave any residue.I have to say, our fridge's surface looks awesome after it's done. I would say it's matt-finish shiny, and it's very, very finger-print & smudge resistant (been trying to put my fingerprint on it for past 5 minutes...unsuccessfully). Best of all, the stainless steel surface does not look or feel greasy. I would imagine a once a week wipe would maintain the surface nicely!One other detail: on the stainless steel surface, this product does not feel greasy at all. But some of the spray got on our stone floor, and it did feel a bit waxy. Came off with water and wipe. Next time we're just going to line the floor with newspaper before using.Overall, excellent product. Best we've used so far (baby oil, simple green, wow). Highly recommended!

Perfect for cleaning and polishing stainless steel appliances. No streaks!

So far it's one of the best products I have used for my kitchen stainless steel appliances. It would have been even better if the cleaning impact was greater after first application. In my case I had to go through the process twice to make it look spotless.

This stuff is GREAT! Someone gave us a can of it years ago, and we've used it to clean all sorts of metal in addition to stainless steel. It works fantastically. Cleans anything not baked on, takes it right off. Leaves a very thin non-oily coating that enhances the metal's protection against soiling, and actually makes it look better than just bare metal. I really grew to love this stuff.We still have a little left in the old can, but it got knocked off of a counter, and the spray nozzle broke off, so we had to buy a new can. You can bet that I'm going to try to use the nozzle from this new can to get every drop of this cleaner out of the old can. That is what you do with something this good: don't waste even a drop.Just for reference, I've used it to clean a stainless steel gas cooktop and it does a wonderful job, even removing spills that have been left on for two weeks of cooking and exposure to heat. It has also been used on the stainless steel areas of a vintage Revox A77 Mk III tape deck, the aluminum trim areas on a Gaggenau wall oven, around the controls too, and on a rather expensive aluminum Lian-Li computer case. Lots of other stuff too. It cleans everything well, and leaves it looking, at least, as good as new, usually better. The 3M Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish is great. You won't regret buying and using it.
