Sure. She mentioned another kind of finish to it -- brushed, I think.
Hey, I'm just reporting what I heard -- in pieces. "-) Peace.

My kitchen sink is brushed stainless steel. It has been in used for
almost 30 years and does not look too bad. Of course I am not one to
wax the kitchen sink. We are moving and the new sink is a deep double
white. Looks like I may have to spend a little more time on it.

There are stainless steel sinks... and then there are STAINLESS STEEL SINKS.

Two years ago I was putting together a kitchen for scratch in my house. I
spent a lot of time looking into sinks. I ended up with a Moen "Lancelot".
Here's a link that I hope works:

http://www.moen.com/Consumer/catalog...u_refno=110915

It's a deep 18 gauge SS single bowl sink. I'm very happy with it. It is easy
to keep clean and solid as a rock. About three years ago my sister remodeled
her kitchen and got a deep SS sink which has a much thinner gauge of
stainless and her's always looks like crap. I don't know if I just am better
at keeping up with the cleaning or it has something to do with the gauge.
The Moen was about the best deal I could find for what I was looking for in
a sink by about $100.00.

That's a nice one. You get what you pay for with most things. The gauge
and composition of SS; e.g., 18/8, 18/10, etc., determine the quality and
price.

Moen is a VERY good brand! I have Moen tub, sink & shower
fixtures that are over 20 years old and still going strong.
