I accidentally used the wrong side of the sponge and scratched my new stainless steel garbage can. I googled the internet and learnt about this product that they sold at Reliable Parts, Ltd. The staff were friendly and helpful and gave me their honest input on the product. It was a bit pricey but I needed to fix my expensive garbage can so I decided to give it a go. I purchased the product and followed the easy to follow instructions on my stainless steel garbage can and 'voila' the scratches were gone. It took a bit of elbow grease using the different sanding pads that the package came up with but it worked! The only thing about the product is that depending on how fine the grain is on your stainless steel item, the sanding pads that came with the product might not replicate 100% of the finish. But, with that being said, only if you spend a long time looking for differences would you find them. I highly suggest Scratch-B-Gone.
