[@sykoRAY86]

Thank you for this. Would you recommend sequentially doing all three steps for a really old and stained sink? Secondly, how much pressure do we apply when using the foil? Would the foil cause more scratches on the surface if too much pressure is applied?

[@DIYPD]

You’re very welcome! For a really old sink I recommend heavy duty scourer pads to remove scratches with big moves. Do not stay at one spot. Then the foil to give a little bit of shine. Big moves again and do not afraid about the pressure. Aluminum foil is softer than steel and it will not make scratches. At the end use a metal polish cream for a stunning shine! The whole procedure takes time so be patient.

Thankyou !! Does it have to be a scourer pad please or will a normal metal scourer work or would that probably scratch? Thanks

[@DIYPD]

You’re very welcome! The normal scourer is very soft and doesn’t work. So yes has to be scourer pad. You can find them at the supermarket! 😀

Hello! Can I check, for 2nd way, do we need to sand back and forth in a particular direction? For 3rd way, can you share which product you are using?

[@DIYPD]

Hi Caroline, If you want to try the 2nd way try to make big moves (ideally at the same direction) and try to not stay at the same point for a long time. In the 3rd way, I used Autoglym polish cream. You can also find all the details at the description. Hope this helps, but if you still have any questions let me know! 🙂

You’re very welcome!

[@donaldtruck5148]

It was very helpful but I got a question though. My sink got stains caused by chemical used to unclog the pipes. As a temporary solution (till I'd change the sink), I used a paint suitable for metal surfaces (for car hubcaps). I suppose this won't last but in any case, would any of these solutions you provided would remove the chemical stains?

[@DIYPD]

Hi Donald, to be honest not sure about it. Perhaps worth to try but I cannot promise. If you try and it does work, can you please let me know too? I really hope it does.

[@bjFloridaGator]

Are you just using liquid detergent?

[@DIYPD]

Washing up liquid

[@bluelit4830]

Do you have to do all three steps?

[@DIYPD]

Of course not. These are 3 different ways to restore your sink. The foil is very quick way and it will give some extra shine without extra scratches. The heavy duty scouter pads will remove most of the scratches and they will give a mat finish. For extra brilliant shine use the polish cream. It’s up to you which way or ways to follow and always depends from how your sink looks.

[@kimcolvin5389]

Help! I used bleach in my New stainless steel farmhouse sink. I already tried the baking soda but it didn't help. Anyone I need ideas how to get it back to new

[@DIYPD]

Sorry about that. Because it was new it’s better to ask the company first.

[@Krisztamacs]

super video, thanks for sharing,but please, wear gloves!!!!! please...

[@DIYPD]

Thank you! I will 😁

[@mandiigraham1596]

You showed 3 methods , one after the other on the same sink. Method 2 was after it was already cleaned and 3 after 2 cleanings. How do we know that the last trap methods are as effective if we don’t see from a stained situation.

[@DIYPD]

You can try and if it doesn’t work to do all 3! I believe it will work.

[@Lillyofthevalley222]

I think you should look at the methods as clean, buff and polish. Each method has its own purpose. You wouldn’t use metal polish on a sink that was dirty right? You don’t polish your silverware without it being washed first. If your sink is like mine and looks like the sink did at the start of the video, incorporate all three methods for this amazing look at the end!

[@poppyshoessp]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I was about to spend hundreds on a new sink. Aluminum foil is in the pantry. HAHA! What brand of polish was used?

[@DIYPD]

If you want to remove the scratches completely you have to insist more with the second way.

[@anitarajput11]

Rags to riches forsooth Very talented

[@DIYPD]

Thank you! 😀

[@ruz7951]

I think you mean "step" instead of "way" .

[@DIYPD]

Hi Cali, thank you for comment. The reason I say “ways” is because some people do not like to use chemicals so they may prefer to stop after the first or the second step and to not apply the cream. You do not have to follow all the process, you could choose either to only apply cream, or only scrub the sink with foil or only scrub the sink with the scourer pad which depends on what finish you want to give (matt, satin or gloss) Only sure thing is that all 3 ways will give you a better finish and a shiner sink despite if you use them all or just one of them. I hope you try it and you will be happy with the result! Have a lovely Christmas.

[@giennefarcais6834]

Why do you say "wear gloves" and then you don't? As for using the abrasive pad - that's just wrong. This is a useless video.

[@DIYPD]

Hi Gienne, thank you for your comment. The reason I don’t use gloves is because I have an allergy, but I thought that I should advise people to not copy my example. Re the use of the abrasive pad, that was the best way to remove the most of the scratches from the sin. If you try it, you will see the difference! I hope this helps.
