Question How do I remove corrosion pits in stainless steel

I have noticed some stains on my stainless steel rocker panels after this winter. Does anyone have any good suggestions on removing these marks. I have already tried metal polish and it didn't even make a dent in the marks.

Use the same grit sand paper as you would when color sanding a paint job (if your trying to keep them polished). If they're not polished, WD40 (or similar) & white 3M scotchbrite pads work well to clean stains.

I work in a dairy facility. We have more stainless piping, tanks, tables, machinery, etc. than you can shake a stick @ & it all has to be kept clean (a difficult task @ times).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

don't use steel wool, whatever you do.. the steel will contaminate the SS and it will rust all the same even worse.
