Does this help black porcelain sinks shine? I cannot find anything to get rid of the dull residue on it that is making the black so dull and dingy.

I'm sorry but I do not know the answer to your question. I use it on my granite, it has a light shine but it cleans the granite and seals it for me.

I don't know about the sink but I do use it to shine my black stove fridge dishwasher and microwave...it works really well take away the glare!

I've just gotten honed premium black granite installed on perimeter countertops and was told soap and water is best such as the Dawn comment below. But don't want it to build up but don't want a cleaner to put a shine to my desired matte finished countertops. Does this cleaner make a matte finish shiny?

I haven't had any problems using cleaners. A lot of times unless it looks really bad, I just put a little dish soap on a scrubby or sponge and use that. If it doesn't look or feel clean, I generally use Bon Ami, and my black sink looks just as good as the day it was installed.

I have one of these sinks -- bought it in October 2012. I *LOVE* it. We spray/wipe it out daily when doing dishes. And, we scrub it down about once a week with baking soda to eliminate any buildup and make the stainless shine again. So, at least in our sink, gunk doesn't accumulate. But, you do have to take care of it.

It's very close to black with a slight shimmer (or glitter). We use cooking oil to restore the finish when needed. The sink is deep, so do check that there is enough room below the counter for the trap and plumbing.

No quite the contrary, it makes it sparkle. I have used pumice stones and grit cleaners on porcelain and Shaw pads seem to have an advantage over all of them in effort applied and overall stain removal.

Absolutely, just make sure the faucets are clean of any debris and dried thoroughly.....apply product on on dry soft cloth and rub in. Then remove with another dry cloth....You will notice some black on the rag and that's good.....Repeat a couple times and the shine will be intense and the faucet will look pristine and be protected......It will also guard against finger prints for weeks.....Every few months clean and re-wax for an optimal continued fresh look.

I have a cafe brown sink and it works great. Need to make sure you rinse it well so not white residue.

No..I would not..it can leave a white residue on darker sinks. I would recommend using bar keepers friend to clean, then use mineral oil after cleaning to short term seal the clean as well as bring out the great colour of the sink

Like most materials you could apply to protect that shine, this product will reduce the shine a small amount. It will protect the copper but probably prevent tarnishing for only a short time. This wax is very hard and quite durable but probably not the answer to preserving the brightness of your sink. You may try it and if it doesn'r work, mineral spirits will wash the wax away. A more durable solution might be to spray the polished shiny copper with a clear gloss lacquer (I believe there is a product called StayBrite in a spray can) designed for metal surfaces. Once again it will diminish the shine slightly but it will prevent further tarnishing for a very long time (if not forever).

When I bought this I went on the Blanco sink website and it said the cleaner was for all their sinks. I have a brown color one. It did not work on my sink. I emailed the company and they replied with " It is only for white sinks." I was upset that their website did not specify. I have tried all cleaners and nothing will take the white calcium color away and restore my deep brown color. :( Good luck ! Hope it works on your white !

Sounds like hard water and soap scum. My wife wipes down our sink once a week with baby oil and it keeps a beautiful sheen. Just a very light coat will work and it will continue to look brand new.

I have had excellent results. Try this, use the powder mix with just a little water to make a paste. Use a scotch brite pad and start with little circles to larger circles with lite to med. pressure. It will remove the stain. However, if it is rust or corrosion, that might be deep in the stainless steel. Even stainless steel will rust with time, yo might have to work it for a long time to remove microscopic layers of the metal to reach clean metal. Then work with very light pressure to polish the metal to match the sink.

This product is an excellent copper CLEANER. But if you want to preserve the copper-color finish, you'll probably have to find a different product. I know that when it comes to copper hardware (handles, doorplates and the like) you can use a wax or lacquer to preserve the color. I don't know what you could use on a sink; I suggest you contact the manufacturer and see if there is a specific sealer available.

I used on my porcelain sink w/o removing any grime or stains prior to use of it. It worked really great, even cleaned stains from around the drain. I 1st used a regular sponge cleaner over the stains, no response. I used a magic eraser, cleaned some, but not as much as I wanted. Used hope with magic eraser and almost effortlessly removed stains and "appeared" to cover scratches. I have white sink, so, whether it helped the scratches or not, I don't know. But my sink looked awesome after cleaning and rinsing!

Don't believe it will polish to a "chrome like" finish. It did a decent job on my stainless steel sink but, again, it did need a lot of rubbing. You will definitely see a difference but NOT a chrome polish difference. Basically, I would give it a B - or C+.

My sink has remained the same color. The gray color is produced by hard water or soap scum. Regular cleaning of your sink should prevent this problem.
