Hi there, Anyone got tips to removes scratches from the from door surface of stainless steel f&p fridge? My sons had a lot of fun using it as a road for his cars to drive on!

"While scratch-removal is often best left to the experts, small scratches can often be removed with a simple home remedy – simply apply a thin layer of toothpaste to the small scratches and buff gently with a toothbrush. This gets off superficial and small surface scratches like a charm".
From a Bosch website for care of stainless steel appliances.

That's what they designed fridge magnets for.

Here's one you could try from Ms Google - How do you remove scratches from a stainless steel refrigerator? Try to buff out a minor scratch with a soft bristle toothbrush and whitening toothpaste next. Coat the bristles of the toothbrush with the whitening toothpaste. Use the brush to apply the toothpaste directly to the minor scratch. . Periodically remove wipe away the toothpaste with a wet rag and assess the scratch.

Bought a stainless F&P fridge two years ago. Found the grade of stainless they used is very soft and marks very easy. Not very happy with it. Previous F&P iridium finish much more durable.

There is a difference in appliances between 'Stainless' and 'Stainless Steel'. Our new Samsung is 'Stainless' and holds a good magnet so can't possibly be Stainless Steel. Even 304 grade shouldn't hold a magnet.

304 does hold a magnet 316 or 318 will not . The Stainless in fridges is just a shit grade .

I was told years ago by a mate in the appliance industry. Buy white as SS shows all scratches.

I wonder why they don't clear coat stainless steel appliances? Cost?

You can also rub over with a soft cloth and WD40. It sounds crazy but it does work. It is actually great stuff for many different uses.

I polished out some minor rust on the stainless oven using the synthetic versions of steel wool. Started on "0000" which from memory didn't do a lot and went up a grade. In the painting dept of the diy stores. Problem with the fridge is that you might have to do all of it as areas that have been worked on might stick out like dog's balls .

Buy a Tube of Autosol Metal Cleaner from Repco (on special till Sunday - with a Polishing Cloth) and give it a go.
You may be surprised how good Autosol products are! I have used their products for over 60 years

Yes they are good, but you need to be careful with a brushed stainless finish or you might end up with a shiny patch.

Sand it and paint it a crazy colour.
