Oxidization Issue. My egg carton grill center has oxidization on it. I've tried, degreaser's, Comet, windex and other products. Soaked the puppy for hours in hope it would eat/cut through the oxidization - nothing works. The only way I could see getting rid of the 32 year old problem is to sand it off. This method would take me about 3 days of sanding in every little square. PLEASE HELP.

Does any one know what product would eat this dull build up off the surface. Something must be used, because I can't imagen people sitting down and wet sanding it off.

Thanks guys!

Acid.

Dave, your scaring me - are you serious? do I just walk in a hardware store and ask for some acid, What kind of acid?? My grill looks awesome wet, but it's dull when it is dry.

Thanks for your help Dave.

Your joking right? cause I'm at the point where I'll try anything.

i know what you mean by it looks good wet, i have the same problem. What worked for me was just soking it in tire wet. Now it always looks wet and shiny.

Marco's idea sounds safer. But yeah acid would work. I used to work in a factory making stainless steel beer kegs. We dipped them in acid to clean them once they were finished. They used to come out clean as a whistle.

Best left as a last measure though eh?

Just for the record - I've recently tried soaking it in CLR. I can not believe this did not work. So I went with Marco's solution - works just fine? Thanks Marco.
