    Anyone used "therapy" stainless polish? Has great reciews

    I wondered if it matters if you use this product meant for appliances not in the sun. https://www.amazon.com/Therapy-Stain.../dp/B01JZX6K1U

    I have used Sheila Shine... It does work really well but has a very strong odor.

    We use Sheila Shine every night at my theatre to polish the kitchen equipment and the stainless steel rear wall under the exhaust hood. In my opinion, it works great for the kitchen equipment - not so much for the Delorean. I brought some home in a spray bottle and used it on my car. Looks great at first, but it makes the panels a little dull. Also attracts dust like a magnet. We buy it for the theatre in 1 gallon cans at the local restaurant supply house. The smell is the best thing about the stuff.

    Agreed... The problem with all oil based polishes is that they attract and hold dust.
    I think the best detailing is washing the car and then using Bar Keeper's Friend. I use the liquid kind - never tried the powder so I can't speak to which version is better. It make the stainless almost glow.

    I've never used the liquid version of Barkeeper's Friend, but I have used the powdered version.

    I typically wash the car with very soapy water, rinse it off, then while it's still wet, shake the Barkeeper's Friend all over the stainless panels on the car. I use a brown Scotch Brite pad I picked up at the local paint store and scrub in one direction WITH THE GRAIN of the steel. After I've done the whole car, I'll hose it off and wash it again. The powdered residue gets in every crack and crevice of the car. For some reason on my car, it tends to collect right under the lip of the hood right behind the front fascia.

    That's my typical "get it ready for a car show" cleaning ritual.
