Well that sucks. I looked at the finish on mine and was about to try some polishing, they are quite shiny but just a step below mirror. Something about the finish on the SS said to me .. don't try it. It's got a very, very subtle brush pattern to it so I knew I'd have to do the whole thing if I started. I'm guessing it must be very hard SS, or treated in some way to harden the surface. It has kind of a "pickled" color to it, not as "white" as OEM SS seems to be.
Well, you certainly can't have wasted as much money as I have buying things twice so don't feel too bad
