how do you prevent pitting on chrome or stainless steel etc.,? is there any kind of spray or some thing that will create a "barrier"?

I haven't experienced any pitting. There is a strained steel spray cleaner you may want to try, but I haven't found it necessary.

I bought OIL RUBBED BRONZE and don't expect a pitting problem. Sorry, but I don't know about sprays for preserving patina....

Not sure about pitting... but the finish didn't last well because we had to scrub with brush, etc. to get the grooves clean. I don't like that annodized finish either. Might pit if in the dishwasher or harsh cleansers... I didn't like the Circulon at all. I use stainless pans now. Cooks has some nice weight ones similar to All Clad. I use a good All Clad non stick pan for some things. If you can...return the Circulon as defective. Don't buy anymore of them!

MAAS recommends you should use the Maas Stainless Steel & Chrome Spray Cleaner. I have not used it myself, so good luck.

Chrome is notoriously difficult to cover, so I would say better not take the chance. You might want to direct your question to the manufacturer

Carbon steel oxidizes much easier than "stainless" (there is no true stainless, just some more resistant than others). Carbon steel has many other great properties I won't get into here, but as has been said, a little oil (food grade like mineral oil is more appropriate of you will cut food, or it is a possibility) will help prevent overt rust. A forced patina (making the blade oxidize in a more limited and controlled way) is a way to actually further prevent rust. Exposure to various light acids for limited times helps, such as cutting citrus or soaking with vinegar.

Id try something else like Semi-Chrome or Noxon. This is more of a Polish than a rust remover / Chrome Cleaner. Although it may do the trick, you can try it but Id say to buy a can, only if you have other uses for it... this stuff lasts a good bit and works great for shining stuff up.

I have stainless steel hardware. A little goes a long way and works well. I would try putting just a small amount on a soft cloth so you wont scratch the polished nickel and give it a try.

Its not going to be durable enough. Stainless needs to be in contact with air to be free of rust.I would try a silicone wax first like nufinish. Its inexpensive. Some types of stainless dont like to be underwater for days or weeks because of the carbon content of SS. Wax will help. Good luck.

After it cools, I use a dish rag and mild dish detergent. I rub dry with a paper towel and coconut oil. The coconut oil seems to help take the stickiness out if you happened to cook something that caused that. It doesn't totally come out, but it's better and the more you use the coconut oil, the better the pan gets. I'm not as happy with that aspect of the pan (that it gets sticky/tacky)...I feel it requires more work than just a stainless steel pan.

You can buy spray cleansers specifically for stainless steel or you can use a glass cleaner like original Windex (I use Method natural window cleaner).

better off using brass bristles to be safe.. over time the full on stainless steel bristles could scratch it, leading to rusting.. they make one just like this with brash bristles..

If you have hard water build up, you may have to find a product to remove that first. I forget what I have used in the past. Your local hardware store can advise. Otherwise, Sprayway is the best of the best. And I've tried everything! Their stainless cleaner/shiner is also great. No streaks.

I have not had any rust develop on mine and have had it a few months. You should get decades of use out of chromed steel without rust if you take care of it properly.

I use barkeeper's friend on all the stainless steel in my kitchen. It's the only thing I've found so far that makes things look like new and doesn't leave streaks. It's great for sinks and pans, but kind of a pain to use on stoves, fridges, dishwashers since it's a powder that you have to wet, then rub all over, then rinse off. I just get it at the grocery store. It comes in a tube container like comet.

My hubby hasn't gotten any scratches on his wallet yet. I guess I would use stainless steel spray cleaner on it and see if that helps. Otherwise, I would contact the company and ask them.

When I worked in my Mother's Restaurant, we cleaned all of the Stainless Steel with Club Soda! I know it sounds strange, but they all shined like new afterward, and no fingerprints! Hope this helps!

Since I would never even think of putting mine in the dishwasher, I haven't had that problem. If I had done that, I might try baking soda or Bartender's Friend to see if either would remove any of the discoloration. Both are very fine abrasives which I find work well on my stainless steel sink. Also, a metal polish called MAAS works well on lots of metals, including sterling silver as well as stainless steel. Good luck.
