    Stainless steel polish

    Is there anything with enough grit that will buff out light scratches on my running boards?
    I'm guessing no so what's the best way?
    1000 grit, 2000 grit, 3000 grit sandpaper?

    I wouldn't touch that with sandpaper. I'd think you'd need a good aluminum polish and a rotary to get those out.

    Re: Stainless steel polish

    Are those boards indeed stainless?

    If so, I'd think that nothing would touch those scratches. (Sanding included).

    They are stainless.
    I've seen a few videos about polishing SS. They start with 1000 grit wet sandpaper and go up in steps 2000 grit , 3000 grit .
    That's a lot of work.
    I'm looking for something easier.

    You might have some luck with Autosol, Only place I know that sells it in the US is Eastwoods. It's like Simichrome, but a bit more abrasive. Generations of UK bikers swear by it. A tube will last you years.
