Whatever you do don't use anything abrasive. Carefully find out what disolves the dirt and grime by testing little patches and wipe it with soft
cloths only. The last thing you want is to scratch the surface. Nylon washing up pads will scratch stainless steel esp[ecially black ones. I would
start with undiluted washing up detergent and work up to acrylic thinners or isopropyl alcohol or whatever from there.
Now I'm going to let you in on a cleaning industry trade secret. Cleaners keep stainless steel in lifts, on door frames and urinals shiny with engine
oil. That's right good old 30/50 car engine oil. There is no other way to get SS looking good. Anything else will smear and mark with hand prints.
The oil spreads itself into the marks and self removes them.The only problem is that every few hours or so you need to wipe the fingerprints off the
surface with a very slightly oily rag. The rag should only have a tiny amount of oil on it.
One of the reasons for the unpopularity of the Delorean is that the brushed SS is almost impossible to keep looking good. Even if it is oiled the oil
attracts dirt and the car has to be wiped down daily.
