Stainless is usually a metal that does not deteriorate and pit, so i think you are sanding way too much. If its stainless trim, and not plated etc, you should not have to sand much at all unless there is a existing deep scratch. If i were you, i would sand with a light hand with say a 600 grit than go to sisal wheel with emory and a white on a loose or canton flannel. I know what you guys are experiencing, and i had the same problem. I sanded with too heavy of a hand and with to course of a grit and when i finished polishing you would see the scratches. It dosn't hurt to give this a try, even on a test area. Good luck.
