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.

No. Once you apply refinishing oil, it will continue to seep into the wood, making it difficult or impossible to refinish over top of it. Since the product contains an oil that’s meant to penetrate existing finishes, almost anything you put on top of it will bring the previous layer of stain with it. If you plan to refinish your cabinets more than once, it’s a good idea to go with the traditional method of sanding before applying a new finish to the surface.

It’s usually more affordable to repair small appliances than replace them, with the average repair cost of $150 and the average replacement cost around $300. Of course, these prices vary depending on the type of small appliance, the brand, and its age. If you know your appliance is high-quality, it may be best to pay for a repair. However, if your appliance is nearing the end of its useful life anyway, it might be more cost-effective to replace it. A professional appliance tech could help you decide what’s best.
