I have a microwave/grill combo and I accidentally had aluminum foil inside when starting the microwave function. By the time I realized it was already sparking and left brown scorch marks on the inside.



The inside walls of my microwave look to be stainless steel or some type of metal. I tried scrubbing these with some soap but it didn't do much. Is there any remedy to this situation?

          3. Use acetone (in many nail polish removers) on a cloth to remove scorch marks. Wipe clean with damp cloths.


          4. Put some instant coffee powder in some water and microwave it until your microwave doesn't have an acetone smell.


          You may have to repeat step 4 a few times; basically, just make something that smells pleasant a few times so the scent of acetone goes away.

            For my motorcycle I am using Autosol bluing remover, a metal polish paste.



            That works pretty good on almost any other kind of metal. Used for hood in a kitchen.
