What's best for cleaning brushed stainless?
Hi Guys
Started cleaning the brushed stainless bits on my car today and didn't get that good a result with solvol so can anyone recommend anything
else?

you can buy something called stainless cleaner, extractors we fit come with a sachet of it. Not sure whats in it though, or if its just a gimmick.

Actually baby oil works well but really only once the stainless is clean and shiny...
Guess it's like most things, if it's covered in poo when you start, no amount of baby oil is going to make things okay 
Also works very well on the bathroom taps after you've Limelight'd them.... Also stainless steel sinks....

I tend to use a green kitchen scourer to clean the stainless exhaust on my daily driver. This works best if you keeps the 'direction' of
cleaning constant and linear. I then finish up with some autosol. This gives a nice compromise between brushed and mirror polished.

"Peek" polish is pretty good, aparently the Classic bike mags recomend it but its really hard to find.
Some industrial cleaners where I was working managed to loose some.... how careless
