A grandma’s first trick that works really well against scratches is the clay stone. I personally tested it on my scratched stainless steel fridge and the result is quite interesting!
Of course, if it’s deep scratches, it’s useless to test this product, but for small scratches on the surface of stainless steel, it’s really a great thing to test.

3. Use scratch paste for car bodywork
You will easily find Polish products for car bodywork in stores and online. This type of product can erase scratches on car bodywork and other metals including stainless steel.
The principle is the same, here is how to use it:
