Default Cleaning stainless steel pots

Well, maybe a bit off topic, maybe not. I have a nice, heavy new 2
quart saucier and have been keeping it bright and shinny, so I
thought. But, now after a year or so, I've noticed the outside is
turning sort of goldish color. The inside is a brushed stainless,
but the outside is polished stainless steel. Obviously the gold
color is a buildup of tiny grease splashes that apparently didn't
come off during regular cleaning. Is there a good way to remove
this? I've heard applying ammonia and putting the pot in a tight
plastic bag overnight. Will this really work? Thanks.
