Cleaning stainless steel

[mailbox]

I just purchased a new(for me) stainless steel grill. It has never been used but has some stains and some kind of overspray on it.

Question 1. What is a good stainless steel cleaner?

Question 2. What is a good overspray cleaner? I have tried lacquer thinner and it works O.K., but it is a pain to use. What else is out there?

Question 3. What is the best to use to remove marks and scratches? I tried 1000 grit wet sandpaper in a not seen area and it looked too shiny. Too fine I guess. What's a good grit paper to use?

Thanks in advance.

Mailbox- is this grill for a TR6?
If so, are you positive it is SS and not aluminum?

Easy-Off oven cleaner will remove the overspray.
Wear gloves and don't breathe the fumes.

Careful though, Easy-Off can etch/discolor the metal!!!!

mailbox, check out "weiman" stainless steel cleaning/polishing products.

I use Weiman products on my kitchen appliances. Very good for stainless steel.

You may already have some lemon oil in your house.

That works good on stainless steel too.

(maybe it's similar to the Weiman stuff....don't know)

Thanks for the reply guys, but I didn't make myself very clear. I just got a BBQ grill. To be honest, I wasn't thinking car grill (I mean come on, it's not like this is a car forum or something). Hey my bad. :blush:
