We left my old (white) speckled gray glass top stove in the house when we moved 5.5 years ago. It was a dream to keep clean and I’d love to have it again. When I tried to buy another one, I couldn’t get refrig, dishwasher and stove all in same brand if I wanted white so I opted for stainless. Big mistake as far as I’m concerned. Appliances aren’t made to last anymore either.
Tranum, I have a question for you, if you don't mind. Have you ever tried Weiman Glass Cook Top Cleaner on your black cook top? That is what I use on my white glass cook top and I think it works really well, cleaning it and polishing. I use the razor and a firm plastic "scrubby" thing that came with the stove for stubborn, burned on things. The razor only when it is wet or with the glass top cleaner or it can scratch. But, we are planning to replace this stove with a stainless version and so far, I've only seen them with black tops. Must admit I'm a little worried about keeping that looking nice, kind of like you said. Yikes!
