Removing weather stain from stainless steel




We are importer of stainless steel material. It happens that they are left under rainy condition and they get stain and yellow color. How is it possible to get rid of the stain and the color.

Why don't you just buff the stains out?

Buffing may be very time consuming dependent on the amount of material and degree of discolouration. You could try dilute acid to activate the chrome, acid dependent on stainless steel type. Remember to protect yourself and the environment.

It is easy to remove these stains with citric acid formulations that are available on the market.

Any stains on Stainless steel will quickly be removed using our Scratch-B-Gone kit with very little effort. In fact weld mark and heat scorch also comes out quickly.
