What other options do I have for effective scratch removal for my home appliances?
Scratch-B-Gone is effectively the only stainless steel restoration kit available on the market today. Our proprietary solution and pads are far more superior to other off-the-shelf restoration product. Be careful when considering options that involve toxic or hazardous chemicals, such as those containing Perchloroethylene, a chemical rated highly toxic by the U.S. Government.
