Many years ago I had a friend whose kitchen had stainless steel counters
with integral sinks. I remarked one day how they always looked spotless.
Her secret? After basic cleaning/scrubbing, she wiped them down with a
large wad of cheesecloth that had been saturated with miineral oil and
wrung out. After wiping down, she used a dry ead of cheesecloth to buff
the surface. I watched her one day, and the whole process took just a few
miinutes from start to finish. I've never seen better looking stainless
steel. It didn't show water spots, smudges, swipe marks, etc.
