Help resurfacing steel flat-top grill?
I am currently in the process of opening a new restaurant, and the flat-top we got is severely pitted (improper storage), but it was a bargain so we bought it thinking it wouldn't be too much trouble to buff/sand out the pits. By severely, I mean some of these pits are more like holes, going down several mm. Does anyone have any advice on how to resurface this? We have tried grinding, sanding, buffing with a grill brick, but the holes are too deep to get anywhere this way. I had read online to use a power drill with a wire brush to grind it down, and then fine sandpaper to buff out the scratches caused by this. It does not need to be absolutely scratch-less, but I highly doubt the health inspector is going to pass it the way it is.
We plan on opening next week so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Where I worked we would grind them out, but that would make any oil on the plate puddle.
If there are small pits, the size of a pin head a spot of weld might fill the hole and would need to be ground back.
There are various grades of grinding discs available for a regular electric 4" grinder, and a grinder is the tool to use. It will depend on the type of steel as well, but a panel-beater er a light engineering shop pay be able to do that for you.

First commence with a grill brick, then use a green 'scotchbrite' pad. as quickly as you have it wiped sparkling with the abrasive section to get that truly new seem use a cleansing powder (Comet or equivalent) and steel wool (OO grit). Then sparkling the entire grill good with water. as quickly as thoroughly sparkling and dry, practice a skinny coating of cooking oil to guard it from rust. you will no longer have the skill to eliminate deep scratches yet between the brick and pad you will get out minor ones extremely effortless. as quickly as you warmth it lower back up it is going to darken lower back. So repeating the basically top steps after each use will save it astounding and astounding.
