How do I get scratches out of a ceramic sink?

Can I sand them out, or is there some kind of cleaning or polishing agent I can use?

    Use a wet pumice stone to rub out scratches in a porcelain sink. Also, barkeepers friend is a good cleaner/polisher. Both a pumice stone and BKF are available at grocery stores.

    There are ceramic chip fix remedies available in DIY shops. Use that into the cracks and wipe over with a cloth.

    You will not get rid of th scratches completely without re-enamelling the sink but it will make it look better.

    I use "softscrub" to clean my porcelain sink. So, although there are a few scratches, the sink is shiny white.

    "Ajax" and similar powders such as "Comet also work. Basically you want to use a very mild abrasive detergent that contains bleach.

    Hope that helps.

    Metal Polish........Kohler makes a very good one that is made for sinks.

    But since I read you think that Bush is making money off of oil companies, while in the presidency.......you may not be smart enough to find it.

    Oil companies make less of a profit margin then banks, do some research and educate yourself, and stop sounding like a dumb broad.
