A good question....this really depends on the result you are looking for, just clean and looks good from 10' or on towards the removing of most all scratches then polishing to a clear mirror shine.....

A quick search on polishing SS on u tube will give you an idea of what is involved.....good luck...I can say the result can be quite satisfying.......
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.

If there is embedded iron/rust, before waxing, use a mild acid to remove the iron. The stainless won't rust, but embedded iron will.
