Hi, my Wolf range top was scratched when my hood was installed by my GC. They're not long scratches. I've got two or three very fine ones and two spots with deeper scratches that you can feel with your fingertip. I'm bummed out as the kitchen isn't even finished yet. Maybe those scratches would have come with time anyway, but I didn't make them, so it bugs me. I'd like to try to remove them and while searching the net saw Scratch-B-Gone. Anyone used it? If so, what was your experience? Anyone tried anything else they could recommend?

I don't know about quality being diff, but texture and ease of cleaning varies greatly. For example, our GE micro is a breeze to clean (SS Magic, 3M SS cleaner spray, or even Cinch work well), our Pando range hood, easy as well, the bullnose on our Wolf AG range is easy, the two strips on the top (on either side next to the counter), not as easy, and the door is a very textured SS and a bit tough to clean (esp spot cleaning), but the biggest bear to clean nicely is our KA built-in fridge. SS Magic just left horrible streaks, which is why I picked up 3M SS cleaner in the first place (rococgurl turned me onto that). Even so, you have to really coat it with the spray, and buff it well (makes me wish I had considered a wood paneled fridge). I'm willing to put up with the cleaning 'cause I like the look of SS appliances, but I wish they were all as easy to clean a SS as the micro....

sombrueil_mongrel, that is another explanation but the KitchenAid Dishwasher has a reflection to it and is more chrome-like so is brighter with less grain. The LG Dishwasher has more nickel in it which can be seen by the more grayish color and the fact that it is not magnetic. It has a grain to it. I was thinking the KitchenAid was richer but now I see that the LG's stainless is most likely sturdier and definitely easier to clean. I now feel disappointed since the Bosch dishwasher with the cutlery tray I loved and it matched better but I chose the KitchenAid for the drying feature and the little bag in the front to hold plastic lids. If I known that the Bosch had a better stainless steel, then I would have had one more factor to consider. But in all fairness, so far I have been happy with my KitchenAid Dishwasher as well as my LG Refrigerator. I do wish they matched better and I know the Bosch was a better match with the handle but I had no idea it was a better match with the SS also since the store did not have the dishwashers near each other and their lighting is different. I am going to have to test the GE Cafe Range I am going to buy but I have a feeling it will not be magnetic since to my eyes it matches my LG refrigerator better now that I know that a more gray look could be more nickel content. But I would love to believe that they are both the better Stainless Steel with the grain different and one having a little more Chromium and a little less nickel. But I don't see any nickel in the finish of the KA DW. Does anyone know what type of SS each of these appliances is made out of? Our world is so amazing that we can never know everything and everyday is a new learning opportunity.

Wow here I sit wondering the same thing. To make it worse do you know Kraus offers the sink/faucet combo? I mean you get everything you need: drain, grid, and faucet. It's a hard decision....I'd really want the rear drain but in a classic style because we are doing concrete. So I'm wondering if the 23" d-shape is what I want because the only other reasonably priced 30" inch sinks are all 18 gauge. My husband insists on stainless steel. Have you seen the elkay perfect drain? I actually saw one at Home Depot for a reasonable price. Didn't touch the strainer but to me looks kinda thin. There are too many decisions!
