What’s a good polish, or right now I’m using

Imperial Manufacturing KK0059 6 Oz. Stove Polish Paste it doesn’t seems to last that long.​


And I was thinking bout getting this, but people are saying it doesn’t last that long neither.

Do not use stove polish it will need done every year and it won't hold paint after you use it without allot of work
 
Your stove is painted. It does not get polish! Use Stove Brite Satin Black for the closest match to the Summit's factory finish. If you have used stove polish then a waxy layer has built up on the stove that will resist painting. This will need to be completely removed before painting. The new paint will not bond if there is stove polish residue remaining.

If the goal is to cover up the overfired paint, then use steel wool to take off most of the chalky paint. Go from coarser to fine steel wool. Then wipe dust free with a tack rag. Wipe down the area(s) to be painted with alcohol. Then paint, using 3 light coats. If this is in the house, open all windows and put a fan blowing out one window to exhaust the fumes.

If the stove is not overfired, the paint can last many years.
