It does say it cleans stainless steel...thanks! Lol*

Thanks, Billy. It was fun to do. I used Barkeepers Friend to clean all the metal. It worked like magic!! Think I'll put some Turtle Wax on her to help keep the finish intact. It's pretty bad, and I don't want it to deteriorate any further.
Barkeeper's Friend is less abrasive than is Comet, and was formulated for shining the stainless steel in a bar. Comet, IMO, is too harsh and will leave some major scratches and a dull finish.
