Appliances that are smudge-proof stainless steel have a protective clear coating that makes them smudge-proof. Unfortunately, you can’t truly remove a scratch on this surface without also removing that special coating. Your best bet is to let the scratch be or protect it with a small dab of clear nail polish. 

You can risk the option of buffing out the scratches, and be very diligent in coating the area you buffed with oil to reduce the dullness. Just know that if you choose to buff it out, there’s a possibility that the spot won’t look the same as the rest of the appliance.

One of the easiest ways to make dull oven racks shiny is to soak them overnight in hot water and dishwasher detergent. After leaving them for at least 12 hours, use a scrub brush or sponge to remove the stains. For best results, repeat the cleaning process every few months to keep your oven racks bright and shiny.

Regular cleanings with soap and water can leave behind streaks and hard water spots. To keep your black glass stovetop shiny, keep a spray bottle filled with a 1:1 solution of vinegar and water. Spray the surface with this solution after every cleaning session and wipe clean with a dry microfiber cloth.

Removing the original paint or stain before refinishing is a good idea, as it ensures the new finish bonds strongly to the wood. If you skip the stripping or sanding step, the new finish may peel or flake away from the railing easily. Using a wood stripper will completely remove the old stain or paint while sanding will help to prime the surface.
