What surfaces should Scratch-B-Gone NOT be used on?

Never use Scratch-B-Gone on any surface without a grain-finish, such as mirrored or high gloss surface. Also, do not use Scratch-B-Gone on any surface treated with a “clear coat” or any synthetic or imitation Stainless steel finish.

One of the benefits of using Scratch-B-Gone is you do not have to refinish the entire surface. It will effectively remove even deep scratches while working only a few inches around the scratch.

How does Scratch-B-Gone work?

The Scratch-B-Gone kit provides everything you need to restore you appliance, sink or grille’s scratched or scuffed surface to a like-new finish. Scratches are actually misaligned grain. Through the use of the proprietary formulation of ULTRA SHINE™, the revolutionary new lubricating, blending, oxidizing, polishing and protecting solution, combined with the comfort grip tool and specialized pads found in the Scratch-B-Gone kit, you’ll be able to realign the grain to match the surrounding surface. The blending and oxidation process will eliminate the “bright spots” usually associated with scratch removal.

What other options do I have for effective scratch removal for my home appliances?

Scratch-B-Gone is effectively the only stainless steel restoration kit available on the market today. Our proprietary solution and pads are far more superior to other off-the-shelf restoration product. Be careful when considering options that involve toxic or hazardous chemicals, such as those containing Perchloroethylene, a chemical rated highly toxic by the U.S. Government. Also, consider whether the product is marketed to remove only “surface” rather than all scratches and whether one must refinish the entire surface, rather than remove scratches on a localized basis.
