I covered my whole grilling area with a tarp for the winter. I didn’t bother to put on the Napoleon grill cover. I uncovered it to see all of those black spots. Weiman stainless steel cleaner does nothing. Is it safe to use a solvent/goof off?

Windex?
Barkeepers friend?
Had the same marks on one of my grills. After trying a bunch of products, I used a scrub pad drill brush. The marks came out initially but returned when the grill got wet. Let me know if you figure something out.
Spray paint the whole thing black
Use a microfiber cloth or paper towel. Scrub with vinegar, wipe down with a small amount of cooking oil afterwards. Won’t be perfect. Will be significantly better.
Green Scotchbrite. Use it dry, it’ll buff right out.
Aluminum foil, just make a ball a scrub. After clean and apply some protection.
Use Mother’s mag & aluminum polish or something like that.
Side note that same mothers polish can be use to clean your car headlights to remove all that fog on the headlight and make it clear again. Very easy.
Barkeepers friend all the way. cheap as dirt works great on metal.
Acetone. That’s what me and my son use when we will weld stainless steel together and to Clean it off
That thing’s toast. Time to trash it and get a new one, I’ll bring a trailer and deal with it to save you the headache of getting rid of it yourself.
Clean with BKF. If you can find all-brite stainless cleaner (its a commercial product) that will help protect. It stinks to high heaven but works very well.
Barkeeper’s friend paste and a blue non scratch pad.

Steel wool?
Thought I was looking at a cyber truck for a second
First thought before seeing the sub was “haha stupid cybertruck owner”.
Seeing you are from this noble sub, I apologize for my rude thoughts, and wish you the best of luck in accepting your stained stainless for what it is.
Those white eraser sponges work well for me.
Yeah barkeepers friend is a good answer or comet, gently wipe evenly and rinse, dry with cloth to a polish
I work in stainless steel. Get a green brill pad like you use in the kitchen and lightly rub WITH the grain of the metal to remove these. It will take some time but it works.
0000 steel wool used that on chrome.. don’t do circle… keep it straight line… try a spot before u go HAM
Sheila shine! Works great and leaves a nice protective coating.
WD40
Pink Stuff saves the day in our house more often than not for many many cleaning uses such as this. But yeah Bar Keepers Friend Is a great answer
Rent a steam cleaner.
There’s a product out there that I’m not sure the average public can get but I used to use it to clean stainless at a facility. It’s called Sheen Ezey. The stuff I used was from De Laval. It would have stainless shine like it was polished.
