Thanks Louis,
I ended up using a hand held steamer wrapped in a J-cloth it really worked wonders and didnā€™t dull the shine on the pan.
The bottom was a little more stubborn with all the ridges so I applied some baking soda and sunlight dish soap which was then rinsed off (inbetween steam applications and dried off to remove the stain residue after each steam application).
Nice to hear that there is another vote for BKF.
Welcome to HO Louis !

There are many BKF.
It comes in a spray a soft cleanser and BKF also comes in one specifically designed for cookware.

Hi Olunia,

BKF is indeed a great product but one has to be careful with it and make sure to follow the directions, specifically : ā€œRinse thoroughly within one minute of applicationā€. Once, I let it sit and dry on SS kettle for about 30mn as I got distracted and got very stubborn dark streaks.
I also use it very sparingly on ECI as I read discoloration may occur in the long run.
My problem with BKF is that itā€™s impossible to get in Europe at a decent price and I have to rely on family members to bring some over from the US when visiting. So far, I havenā€™t found any real local substitute.

I canā€™t say Iā€™ve tried all BKF products ( a little like trying all Reeses peanut butter products), but Iā€™ve tried several BKF ones. IMO, the original is the only one Iā€™d say works well.

The key with BKF is to apply a slurry and let the acid do the work. If you scrub or scour dry or with too much pressure, you can ruin a high-polish finish. If you canā€™t resist the temptation to scour, youā€™re better off with Bon Ami, which has finer and softer abrasive particles.
