Autosol and some elbow grease.

I believe you can get both from your local Halfrauds.

Trying Autosol S/S polish for it

Dumb question possibly but is Autosol S/S Polish the same as ordinary Autosol or is it one and the same?.
By that question I am asking is one an abrasive and the other a polish

If it's stainless, a fine wet and dry will be quicker first or a rotary polisher.

1500 wet and dry then autosol after will bring that back lovely

It seems to be not as abrasive as Autosol (which I've used on stainless soo many times). Got a higher oil based content by the smells of it.

Its brought up the clean sections nicely, just needs a good buff and its slowly lifting the marks

Update time.

Spent a good hour with the Autosol and the worsts away.
The S/S polish is thinner than autosol and is good
