More than likely H2SO4 (Hydrochloric or muriatic acid. Yuo can apply
that in a dilute form 10:1 or so and allow it to dissolve any ferrous
metal deposts on the stainless steel. Its hard to say what alloy
stainless yur grill was made form but generally any stainless used in
a commercial food prep environment or a marine environment is going
to last a long time in sal****er. I can not keep track nor remember
what alloys are what any more and like I said there is a heap of them,
but I do use a lot of 17-4PH alloy and 318

There's a huge difference in quality of the metal. I bought a stainless
steel grill that promptly rusted. It's ugly (and now covered), but I
have to admit it has lasted much longer then my other grills. I think
this one is going on 3 years, and most fall apart the same day that the
12 month warranty expires. The rust appears to be mostly cosmetic...

Acid, you say? Hm, I have a gallon in the garage to clean cement...
I'll give it a try.

H2SO4 is sulphuric acid. Hydrochloric is HCl.
