I share your view. I too have shiny rings on my cooktop, most definitely from my espresso stovetop pots (aluminum-chrome-something alloy? apparently a softer metal mix, hence the abrasion?) So the metal polish tip is something I'd like to try. Anything else won't help with that. The company you recommended does have quite a few different products though. My question: liquid or a paste? or what can you recommend specifically? Thx

Wow, the car polish trick is great. Thanks for speaking clearly and deliberately. Plus, you're a cool guy!

Chrome polish is good for cleaning things like light switch covers, plug socket covers as it removes/hides scratches.

Fixing scratches is all about sanding down damages on the surface to either be even or polished, both work well on things like wood, plastics, or metal. However to be honest it's never going to work well on glass or ceramic surfaces since both molecular structures are not the kinds of things you can easily sand down to make an even surface or polish it. If u have minor scratching the final method is worth it but if u have major damage just leave it alone and be careful with your stove.

HELP IS HERE! There is something that is made expressly for this purpose. It is only $4.15 at Walmart. It is this: "Weiman Glass Cooktop Cleaner & Polish - 15 Ounce." It is a special polish for these kind of cooktops. One came with my stove years ago and it works like a charm. My stove top still looks like new. Use it over the entire top before using the stove as it cleans and also puts up a protective barrier on the surface. Reapply every few months to keep it looking good. Note 1: Do not use paper products like paper towels on the cooktop to clean as they can make microscopic scratches. Always use a soft sponge or cloth or vinyl scrubby. Note 2: If you use a scraper like a razor blade to scrape off burnt-on food, always wet the surface with water or Windex before using the blade to prevent scratching the top.

this worked so well for me using metal polish with a drill & buffer attachment thanks

I always use either baking soda paste or Bartender’s Friend and gently taking my time, scrape with a razor. If it is just cooked on grease like it usually is, I can make them look new. I recently had a lady come by that had either bought a stove or some kind of appliance from me sometime in the past stop by and ask me how I got them so clean as she knew I had good luck cleaning stove tops. I did not recognize her, but it made me feel good that she stopped and asked me. Water seems to work about as good as vinegar for the baking soda paste to me. I just let it sit a good while longer than this video shows.

1st method: you mix the baking soda with water in a paper cup, making a thick liquid similar to Elmer’s glue. Pour the thick liquid onto the stove burners. Scrap stove top with a racer blade. Scrap in one direction so as not to scratch stove top. 2nd method: .use liquid purchased for stove top. 3rd: use aluminum foil 4th: baking Sodexo and vinegar 5th: use glass stove top cleaner with electric polisher buffer in your drill Di several times until scratches are removed. My method: use a glass stove top liquid cleaner purchased at the grocery store or wherever appliances are sold (call to see if they have it) and a razor.

I use a very sharp blade to gently scrape off any burnt residue, then use Fairy liquid with a non-scratch scourer; Cif for any stubborn bits. To finish, I buff with a microfibre cloth.

What happens when you cook on it now tho? has it left some residue inside the scratches or has it just polished off the corners of the scratches to make them less visible so there's no residue?

Thank you for sharing, I am going to try it.

You should try using the baking soda water mix as an abrasive to scrub/sand the surface.

I use 180 grit sand paper wet with any type of degreaser to remove allot of burnt grime and scratch marks and it normally gets it all unless they are deep scratch’s and then your looking at removing layers of glass to get that smooth again and different levels of sand paper. I lightly press on the sandpaper and stick with a clockwise swirl pattern. I sell used appliances and this has been the best method for me.

I am a cleaner and we pretty much do the same for floors once a year at work, we scrub the surface layer down a tiny bit and polish the floor to look like brand new. Deeper scratches will never go away with some easy fix or whatever, you can make it cleaner to hide the scratch a little bit but the scratch is still there. Very deep scratches need to be repaired.

Oven pride oven cleaner works perfectly just leave on for half an hour try it for yourself

Try baking soda and vinegar; that will clean good; I still haven’t found a good method to remove scratches. Always clean after use. You can use various cleaners to prevent buildup. If you brew your tea, make a tea with used bags and it will remove the acid and a lot of grease. Scratches are like cuts in the glass; that’s what makes them so difficult to remove. I think you would have to buff down past the scratch and I think that is difficult. Norwex makes a cleaner; it’s called cleaning paste and it’s good for removing a lot of stains, oils, and some of the white marks. Biggest issue is to clean right after burners cool down; don’t let things build up on burners. As far as scratches go just be careful to place cookware directly on burner and remove without any scraping motion. Glass tops aren’t made to handle moving cookware on the glass surface. Be sure to hold handles when stirring to prevent movement. There’s nothing I’ve found to remove scratches; it’s just like windshields; very hard to get scratches out because scratches are cuts and have removed part of the surface which can’t be restored to my knowledge. If anyone finds a method please post. I think manufacturers need to study this issue and come up with better stovetop surfaces as the glass tops are difficult to keep in good shape over time. Also it’s hard to remove grease from surfaces even with the best of cleaners; they still tend to streak. There has to be a better way to build stove tops that can stand up over time and retain good surface looks; glass ain’t it.

Personally I think that ceramic stove tops will scratch no matter what you do. I have a KitchenAid pro series and it is a mess. I do not slide my pans around. I put it on the burner and lift it off when I am finished. Im not a chef so I am just boiling hard-boiled eggs, water for tea, etc. It's a hot mess. Then I bought a new cheap stove for a cottage and after one time boiling water for noodles, it is scratched and discolored. I am convinced they are just cheaply made and they will scratch and discolor no matter what you do. Funny how we have pyrex baking dishes that are not scratched at all after years of baking, scrubbing, clanging them around in the sink, etc. This video was good to show us that polishing does offer some hope.
