    White vinegar put on with a soft washing up sponge, polish with a paper towel then polish again with a microfibre cloth.
    Hard work but with elbow grease it will shine. There are no short cuts which is why I won't have a glossy kitchen ;)

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    viral kindness .....kindness is contageous pass it on

    Once I've cleaned our glossy black stuff and dried it, I give it a quick final squirt with glass cleaner and a piece of kitchen roll.  

    I only worked this out recently.   Life changing. No streaks.

    +1 for window cleaner after normal cleaning, Halfords one for cars is good on painted metal and glass.

    Does white vinegar keep it shiny?

    I have a black glossy induction hob, I use Method kitchen cleaner with a very good quality microfibre cloth.  Spray the cleaner on, wipe over with damp cloth, rinse cloth and wipe again.  I don't dry or buff, comes up lovely including any removing greasy spots.  Also works very well on my dark glossy worktops.

    Yes, just give it a buff.  It's the same as glass cleaner. I also use it to clean my windows and tiles :)

    I'll get some of that! Do they sell it in supermarkets?
