I think I would call the company on that one! They might recommend a different product for that application.

I have a faucet with pull out handle and it does a great job of pushing the debris into the center garbage disposal. I also use a nylon bristle brush with handle to wash the sink every night after dinner and never have problems with gunk building up in the corners. I found that the best way to prevent water stains is to wipe down the sides of the sink with a towel after you wash it. It does take more time to keep the sink spotless but it's worth it to me because it is a huge sink and it's beautiful.

I used it on backsplash around a sink. I used it to shine and protect baseboards, both look good. I never tried wallpaper but you could try a piece and see how it dries before going all the way. Using a back and forth light touch, let that dry, than do it again. See what you think. If it doesn't bubble, sounds like a great idea.

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).

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 use it on the outside of my dishwasher which is always smudged especially around the handle. It works quite well and with less elbow grease than others I have tried. I imagine it would work for sinks as well but you probably need to dry it first before you use the Weiman spray cleaner.

If you're planning on using this sink then no it will not, the paint will eventually scratch and chip off with use.

No, it does not damage porcelain. I also tried it on a sink that had a refinishing glaze, and it worked on that also. It's a really good product.

Melissa - I used this product on a wood island top in my kitchen. The product will dry to a hard finish and provide good protection. Our sink is located in the island so there is frequent water contact and this provides good protection. I typically re-apply the product 1-2 times per year.

I used this on a bathroom vessel sink countertop(teak)...but i put over several coats of tung oil as that was my initial plan. It is 100% water/toothpaste etc proof. As far as scratches, I don't know if anything can protect wood from that...what application are you thinking that would expose it to scratching...

I have not tried it on porcelain. Have you tried a pumice stick? I have had great results with the Pumie brand for heavily stained porcelain sinks.

Bar Keepers Friend is somewhat helpful, but the long term answer is to put down a rubber mat of some sort that completely covers the bottom. If I had it to do over again, I would NOT install this sink! Dish soap pits the sink and it scratches too easily.

Yes, I've used diluted bleach in and on sink. Not really certain if I should have but there was no immediate change to sink surface. I now wonder about long term exposure or use. I need to check manufacturer's recommendations. The sink is great though.

I belive it would work fine for that application. In my use of loctite, I found it to having too long of a drying time. So that being said, take care when installing the sink. Make sure it is not disturbed "Moved around" for at least 24 hours.

I used this over a oil based product. The Generals Gel Stain, oil based. It worked very well on a bathroom vanity. I am referring the wood cabinetry portion, not the top counter. I use a polyacryllic top coat on some water based paints, if I am not using a wax finish. I use a lot of chalk paint to re- purpose furniture. I will be trying a new paint by Amy Howard, for that I will use her wax for my finish. Amy Howard wax dries to hard finish without a "melt factor".

I suppose you could if you were rough enough but under ordinary use I would say no. I have the old porcelain sink that will scratch (make marks) easily and I have no problems. If you decide to buy this product you will LOVE it! I can't run my kitchen without it anymore, now that I have it! Good luck to you.

No, BKF is good for cleaning but doesn't remove scratches. I don't think any cleaner will. Scratches are the downside of any stainless steel sink, no matter how good the quality. Some people use the bottom grids to avoid scratching. I know one person who buffs her sink with very very fine sandpaper and mineral oil (I've not tried this and am not suggesting it!)
