Hi Radish -  I remember when I was in the maternity hospital having my first born. The nurse use to come around cleaning the stainless steel trays which covered the foot of the beds. They sparkled and I asked her what she used and she said Metholated Spirits. Rub it on then wipe it off, they looked good. But coming up to the modern era, I have just bought  White Magic ECO Cloth for cleaning down the Kitchen. It is made from natural charcoal yarn to inhibit bacteria growth.  Well I just dampened the cloth and wiped all the granite  kitchen benches, stainless steel dishwasher and stainless steel stove and it looks terrific. You can also get cloths for cleaning the car, and you don't have to polish it. Go to www.whitemagic.biz

I hate water spots on my shiny taps and sink

such a pain to have to wipe them down every day 

wish they'd come up with a spray or better yet tapware that doesn't stain 

Maybe im OCD
