Re: Stainless steel cleaning
If it's just to "buff up" some stainless, I'd look at something like Eagle One Cotton Wadding metal polish. If you have minor rust staining then try Barkeeper's freind with a damp rag. Coat with a good wax after either.

X2 on the Eagle One cleaner that Sailor mentioned. I use it on my swim platform stainless rub rail when needed, and I've even used it on stainless exhaust tips on my trucks, and it does a very good job there. As mentioned as well, follow with a good sealant / wax.

Re: Stainless steel cleaning
If it's really in need of some work, consider using a rotary buffing tool to make it easier on you and on the polish. I've used a full-size 6" one I have for my car and boat, but I've seen people use smaller ones (like 3") that are more maneuverable around stainless hardware with good success too.
