I use Weiman SS Cleaner & Polish or Pledge in the brown can...both do a great job of removing all sorts of smudges/spots. They also appear to "repel" future fingerprints...at least I don't seem to get very many for a couple of weeks after using them. I find that other than wiping off spots from cooking, I only have to wipe down my SS appliances to get rid of fingerprints every 2 or 3 weeks... The DW needs much more frequent cleaning, though, since it gets water spots/streaks from dishes. I'm not sure I'd use BKF unless I had actual scratches on it...or if nothing else works.

Looking at that picture I can just hear him saying "I am not an animal... I'm a feline being!" When I first saw the title I saw Smudge's escape, and all of a sudden the Mission Impossible them started playing in my mind, and probably his as he told Roxie, "I'm breakin outta here baby, ya with me or not?" He was shopping for the *real* "Tender Vittles". And don't underestimate cat vs. rabbit. A big boy like Smudge can pounce and a good chomp can handle a rabbit, especially a young one. Oh and you probably just don't have yours trained yet. My cats have always done what I tell them... Eat... Sleep... Ignore me... How big is your balcony? You could get some of the kennel pieces that made from chain link and put around it or even fashion your own and it would let them enjoy the outdoors a bit. I've been thinking of doing something like that out my front door.

I have selected this Brazilian Quartzite (called CRISTALITA WHITE) for my kitchen countertops...two book matched slabs. The slabs are being sent to the fabricator. No one at the distributor was able to tell me what the coppery looking areas/veins are. I do like them a lot, but I am wondering if they are going to cause any problems down the road, based on what is in this thread. They are smooth to the touch areas - same as the light gray/white that surrounds them. Does anyone have any experience with this type of stone - Brazilian quartzite with copper/iron veining? A second question is that these slabs are currently polished, and I was leaning towards a honed finish. Initially, my fabricator told me that they hone all quartzites as a policy, based on their experiences and outcomes. But now he is saying that my slabs don't need to be honed - they should stay polished. I have used this fabricator before with excellent results, so I trust them, but I am looking for input from other professionals and remodelers regarding my specific type of quartzite slabs with the veining. Thanks.

Looking for the same, specifically pewter. Were you able to find anything? There is NOTHING online... :(
