Finishing Steel Kitchen Countertop

[Ian Mac]

I need some advice on finishing a newly sandblasted steel kitchen counter. What are my options if I don't want to varnish, polyurethane, paint, or powder coat?

I don't want a real waxy or oily finish but do want to protect from stains and rust.

What products do you recommend?

as an ex-kitchen fitter, we used to use baby oil on all stainless surfaces. its about the best we came across for removing finger prints and stopping general staining
