[DML] WD-40 as a stainless cleaner?

[ComposerZelgadis@xxxxxxx]

I'll be perfectly honest, I have very little knowledge of stainless steel  in 
general (i.e. do's and don'ts).  However, at work, we have a few wooden  
doors that have been plated with stainless steel panels (they look very similar  
to the DeLorean's, but appear to have much more "bend" and "give" to  them).  
We used to use Goo-Gone to clean up the fingerprints &  what-not, and it did a 
fair job in my opinion.  Then, one day, my boss  hands me a can of WD-40, a 
rag, and tells me to "get to it."  And  apparently, this stuff works.  Not as 
good as the Goo-Gone did in my  opinion, but it still cleans up the fingerprint 
smudges rather nicely, and  almost gives our panels a nice shine.  Now I don't 
have that much knowledge  of WD-40 either, but could a man use this stuff to 
clean up DeLorean panels when  he is out of the more traditional stainless 
cleaners?  What about the  long-term / short-term effects?  I can't really see 
any immediate danger,  as we've been using the stuff for a good couple months 
now @ work, but I thought  I would get a green-light from the list first before 
trying this on a  DeLorean.
