part of the problem is that as you sand to remove the scratch you also thin the metal in that area. when polished the depression will reflect light and be visable. to eliminate this effect you have to feather the sanding out over a broad area to diminish the reflection. it just takes time. the brushed finish may end up looking better and will hide future scratches better.
good luck,

Does anyone have a fool proof method of removing scratches from stainless
steel....as in a stainless back-splash behind the stove in a GMC?
Any help is appreciated

On brushed SS with a matt finish I have had excellent results with 600 to 1200 wet and dry sandpaper, always going in the direction of the original grain. This will not work on polished SS though. The top of my Jen Air range at home responded very well to this technique, came out like new.
