Kind of like diamond plate with ridges or bumps. My company did a lot of public housing work and elevator work and we used grained S/S and what is called "ridigized" S/S. When you do they often will protect it with a clear coat of some kind of paint or sealer. That's why on elevators, escalators, and such you almost never see a mirror finish. Keeping a mirror finish looking good is an enormous effort. The main reason for the graining is that it tricks the eye so you don't see all of the minor imperfections, fingerprints, dust, etc. So scratch pad means green pad right? By doing after you wash the residue off it gets pretty shinny? So basically wet the car put some powder on a scrap pad. OH WOW THANKS JONATHAN for the step by step. Now you're done, get your car show stuff ready and head off to the cruise night! So wet the area, push with moderate pressure on your scrub pad with a little powder on it in straight strips with the grain, rinse off, repeat.Ħ) Once you have a whole quarter panel done, rinse it off well, paying close attention to the black areas of the car for residue like around the windshield.ħ) Finish all sections of the car, then for good measure, wash it again with soap and water if you'd like to ensure no residue is left. This is key, because as others have mentioned, the powder can leave a white residue behind. Try to do this sort of thing systematically.ĥ) Now make sure you rinse off your little section you were working on fairly quickly. If your scrub pad is 5" wide, then you do a strip 5" wide at a time, then move over or up to the next strip. I like the powder.ġ) Wet the whole car down, heck, maybe even wash it all ahead of time like you would a normal car with soap and water.Ģ) Then on one small section at a time, like a door, or quarter panel, or the hood, get it fairly wet with your garden hose.ģ) Put a little bit of the BKF powder on a scrubber (scotch brite pad, or likewise, but not steel wool)Ĥ) With straight strokes going the direction of the grain, push the scrub pad along the stainless, repeating a few times on each little strip. I personally bought a small container of both the liquid and the powder, and have still never even opened the liquid. Sorry for all the questions I figured you probably know more than me Ok cool! The Bar keepers friend do I get the powder or the soft cleanser? Where can I get it? And how many cans do I buy for the whole car? How do you apply it?
