Are you looking for China door factory?

Is there anything that can buff out scratches on a stainless steel frigde??

My 20-month-old got ahold of a child’s dart game with magnets on the end of the darts. He preceeded to go to the new stainless steel refridgerator and scratch up the door. Is there anything that can remove it or buff it out?????

Answer:

hmmm. stainless steel is notoriously hard to maintain - and it rusts and stains into the bargain. you could try using .0000 steel wool on it , or maybe you might try a light steel wire brush - though i’d use a VERY light touch. (but only if the stainless has a brushed finish)! if it has a polished finished, you’re actually better off - that can be buffed out with a power buffer and some rubbing compound. i would contact a body shop and ask them for tips - they probably know the most about working with metal finishes of anyone in town. that would be my first action if it were my fridge. i got my degree in sculpture - emphasis metal smithing, so i do know something about metal finishes - and what i know is that stainless is tough stuff to work with call a body shop - thats what i would do.
there is one other thing…i dont see how a magnet could do that kind of damage to stainless steel. you may have a clearcoat over the steel. if so, this stuff is probably urethane water resistant stuff, and so would scratch quite easily. this can be fixed with can of satin finish spray-on urethane clearcoat. use a light touch. first i would spray a little into the cap of the spraycan, and brush a little on over one of the scratches - jsut a little one! it will dry fast - if the scratch magically disappears, then your problem is solved…if not, you def want to call the body shop:)
beyond that, your only hope may be to order a replacement door for the fridge. good luck!

ps. ignore mr. armchair parent got a rugrat of my own - and he is a mighty machine of destruction!

psst. for the record, i’ve seen the stuff rusting in lots of salvage yards and old buildings. given…it takes a hell of a long time and a lot of neglect.

yeah - i forgot about the toothpaste and baking soda thing - might work! but if you have a clearcoat it will dull the finish. try to determine first if there is a clear coat!
