Stainless steel is a PAIN to polish, or so it seems from what i have experienced. Are you using the green stainless steel compound? If its a lower grade of stainless, the striations (sp?) will show in the metal no matter what, which is why i think stainless is for the most part electro polished. I would try using a very light hand when sanding as not to cause any really deep scratches, than go right to the green compound for a while and really work it. I do not have much experience with stainless, but hopefully someone else can chime in.
