Hi Robert, I know exactly what you are talking about. I recently bought a car-wash called DURA-WASH. It works absolutely great on stainless steel leaving it much brighter than anything else I have used. The product claims you don't have to dry it off and it wont spot but dry it off anyway if you want a good shine. I see this product on TV infomercials but you can probably get it at most auto stores. hope this helps David 6286
