Answer 1

Brasso...learned that in the military. Anything that is supposed to be shiny will become shiny. Takes a little bit of elbow grease on larger items, but it still gets the shine back. I like to use it on my sink, makes it pretty (i.e. it's stainless steel) you can buy it at wal-mart.

This website shows you what it looks like:

Answer 4

What are you cleaning?  A stainless sink, fridge?  For that I use 1/2 window cleaner and 1/2 rubbing alcohol and either paper towels or a microfiber cloth.  If you're talking cookware as in pots and pans, good old fashioned brillo pads work well.  A powdered cleanser called Barkeepers Friend works very well also.  White vinegar works on somethings, baking soda or cream of tarter will remove minor marks.  Flatware (silverware) usually responds well to a little scrubbing with the Brillo pad.

Answer 5

white vinegar and a drop of ammonia, then wipe dry
