BS arrived scratched...

16 years ago

so my new BS 30" range arrived late yesterday. I love that they tell you 12-5 and show up at 6:30, but thats a whole different story.

When the guys brought it in, they fumbled it around a bit and the cast iron grates fell out. They damaged the floor, but I am hoping the floor guy will touch it up. He has to come back to fix something anyway.

The issue is that there are a couple of scratches on the top front stainless steel piece. I did not take the oven apart when they were here, so i did not notice until I unpacked it. Its bothering me a bit, because its a brand new stove. I know I will probably scratch it at some point, but the point is I should make the first scratches, not the delivery guys.

Anyway, is there anyway to buff out a scratch from stainless?

while I think that if you get a good deal on a stainless appliance at the scratch and dent store, you could use that Scratch B Gone, or after years of use when there might be other scratches you could use it, but I don't know, I think I would call and complain. Perhaps you might be offered some money back (and then you can buy the Scratch B Gone)!

Hey, thanks for the tip about scratch B gone. I never heard of it before.

To the OP, I understand how you feel, but believe me, there will be a *lot* more scratches on that stainless front piece as time goes on. It hurts at first, but then you get used to it. Here is my observation: Stainless scratches ;-)

My daughter decided to carve her pumpkin in my brand new Franke stainless sink and managed to scratch the surface. I simply used 3M cleaning pads and gently rubbed in the same direction as the finish in the sink. The 3M pads come is different ratings - heavy duty down to ultra fine, never scratch. You can still see some of the marks but it made a huge difference.

Unless the scratches are horrendous I would just try to put it behind me and move on. I agree with rjpjnk... that ledge will get really scratched very soon... My plumber put the first scratches in mine when he installed...he didn't seem to care one bit about being careful. Though to his credit the range hood got installed without a blemish (I myself scratched that measuring its height with a metal tape measure). Since then I have discovered that daily and proper use of the range will result in scratching. Now I hardly notice the patina..I just love using the range. At some point though I might try to revive it with the scratch be gone kit, but I will wait for a while until it gets much worse. Good luck.

I can attest to Scratch B Gone. I've used my kit several times to take out installer scratches on Stainless appliances. When you use the liquid that is part of the kit it really helps to blend the the repaired area to match the rest of the stainless.

The Scratch B Gone sounds excellent. I think I will definitely try it at some point. It is good to know that ledge can be restored. Is the kit multi use or one time?
