One of those 3M scrubbing pads was used on our stainless steel sink and left fine scratches. I have an assortment of polishing compound (bars), labels long since gone, and I'm wondering which one can be used to restore the high polish. There are 4 colors: black, white, red and brown. Seems I've seen this assortment of colors in polishing kits before. Can anyone identify these? Which one for stainless?

There are a number of different finishes on stainless steel. It is going to be difficult to get the exact same finish, but you may be able to get a result you are happy with.
