I bought some stuff at a welding store last time. Cant remember the name but its common and sold at most places that fabricate custom tee tops. If you ask Im sure they know what is, its an acid, be careful with it, I found out the hard way as it reacts with fiber glass and gel coat. Cover absoltely everything around in cerran wrap and keep a hose running near by in case of accidents. I'll check in with the name tommorrow.

If its not badly pitted try this, take 8 tablespoons cream tartar. 8 of baking soda 4oz white vinegar, 4tablespoons soap flakes. Mix in order listed. use steel wool and rinse with water. Im not joking this actually works. I also work in a kitchen and use this on industrial appliances. I got this off the internet about six months ago you may be able to google the site which has all sorts of methods.
