Refrigerator handles and dishwasher fronts collect fingerprints all day. Fixture Shield gives you a straightforward routine for compatible stainless steel: Surface Revive for cleaning, shine and light protection, and Home Ceramic Coating for a dedicated water-repellent layer after preparation.
Clean stainless steel with Surface Revive
Surface Revive's SiO₂-enhanced formula removes everyday fingerprints, light grease and residue while refreshing a polished appearance. It is a useful choice for compatible refrigerator doors, dishwasher fronts, handles and other cool appliance exteriors.
- Check the appliance care instructions and remove loose debris.
- Lightly mist a clean microfiber towel to control overspray around handles and panel edges.
- Wipe evenly with the grain of the stainless steel.
- Turn to a clean, dry towel section and buff the panel. Replace the towel as it collects grease.
Work one panel at a time. A light application and a clean final buff give you more control than repeatedly adding product to the same towel.
Add ceramic protection to prepared stainless steel
Fixture Shield Home Ceramic Coating uses SiO₂ ceramic technology to form an invisible hydrophobic, or water-repellent, layer. It helps make routine smudges and residue easier to remove. The Made-in-USA coating can provide up to 12 months of protection with proper preparation, application and care; frequently handled and cleaned areas vary.
- Confirm that your appliance finish permits an added coating.
- Clean the surface completely, remove cleaner residue and dry it.
- Apply a fine mist, spread evenly with microfiber and buff away excess as directed on the bottle.
- Wait 2 hours before use and 24 hours for full cure.
After curing, continue gentle cleaning. Use Surface Revive for routine maintenance where the appliance and coating care instructions allow. Read the full coating application directions.
Black stainless and fingerprint-resistant finishes
These finishes can have a factory-applied top layer. Identify your appliance model and follow its care instructions before choosing either product. If the manufacturer specifies only mild soap and water, use that routine. Our black stainless steel care guide walks through this choice.
Keep the routine focused on exterior panels
Work on cool, compatible exterior surfaces. Keep spray away from controls, vents, seals, cooktops, oven or microwave interiors and food-contact areas. Use a soft microfiber towel instead of abrasive pads.
