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.
Bar Keepers Friend has a mild acid in it that removes the rust and tarnish. You can smell it when you wet it. Comet has too much abrasive stuff in it, I think. I don't use Comet except in my porcelain sink.
