There are a number of different finishes on stainless steel. It is
going to be difficult to get the exact same finish, but you may be able to
get a result you are happy with.

You may want to look at: http://www.finishing.com/4000-4199/4148.shtml


EMERY CAKE-Use where extra heavy cutting action is needed/such as rust
removal from tools, cast iron parts, steel, golf clubs, etc.

TRIPOLI-For buffing parts of aluminum, pewter, brass, copper, wood, bone,
plastic and painted surfaces.

-

RED ROUGE-For bright luster on stiver plate, gold, sterling silver, all soft
or precious'metals. Produces high luster after buffing-with other
compounds.,



WHITE ROUGE-For stainless steel, cast brass, aluminum, chromium, _nickel,
all steel articles to a bright luster.
