Installation Instructions Suggestions for the Care and Cleaning of your Elkay Stainless Sink ELKAY SATIN FINISH Elkay's original highlighted satin finish is produced by an abrasive grinding operation which lends a uniform pattern of satin finish lines to the metal surface. All exposed areas then undergo a series of progressive machine and hand polishing operations. It is this careful polishing that makes an Elkay satin luster finish so beautiful…and so easy to clean and maintain.
