    I saw on tv this weekend where you can take a heat gun, heat it to liven the shine back up just be careful not to melt it! They were doing it on a car dash you actually get it to the melting point then remove the heat!
    I have never tried this but can see were it will work. You may want to find something to practice on first like something from a junk yard!

    I've got a 19ss with the same problem. I use the black kiwi shoe polish that is liquid with the sponge applicator attached to the top of the bottle. It works great. Blends in perfect and only needs to be applied once or maybe twice a year. I apply one coat let it dry and a second coat covers it completely.
