Stainless Steel Superstar

Even appliances with fingerprint-protective finishes need help when it comes to smudges. Weiman's Stainless Steel 3-in-1 cleans, shines, and protects.

LAB RESULTS: This spray wiped on and off easily without leaving streaks or requiring extra buffing. It also helps repel marks so appliances will need less frequent attention. One tester raved that it erased the sticky prints her kids left on the fridge.
