Effective Method for Cleaning Water Stains on Stainless Steel

My 4-year old decided to help me and "cleaned" the stainless steel fridge with the kitchen sponge well soaked in water and I guess leftover dish detergent.I've tried different things I found on-line beside my regular spray to make the fridge shiny again with no result so far.I used vinegar and Windex which only made it worse. Please if you have a cleaning product you used on your stainless steel appliances and it removes the water stains share your experience. Thanks in advance.

A little teensy tiny smidge of wd 40 on an old sock. Spray it on the sock, not on the appliance - then buff.

Hi I use olive oil on my stainless steel microwave. It seemed to take everything off and also kept it looking nice for a long time. I would just wipe with soft cloth and it was shiny again. I finally had to do the process over again a few days ago. Good Luck.
