A tip for you to make things shine seriously.
When I was remodeling my father's house and wanting to really make the chrome shine or stainless, I used Turtle Wax chrome polish on it to get rid of oxidation and then make it shine! A quick wipe of some acetone will work wonders also.....
ZEP make a stainless steel spray can polish, cleaner for SINKS that works fast and easy. Simply spray it on a dry stainless sink, et it sit a minute, and wipe it with clean dry soft rag. Amazing results.
Just some things I found out that made old things look like new again...
