My new pot :(

You could probably get the marks out of the pot by using a scotch bright pad on it... Use something like a sanding block to keep even pressure on it and you should be good... Just not sure how long it will take to go over the marks, until they're gone (or you can't really see them anymore)...

If it's Al then 000 or 0000 steel wool works well for me. I use the 000 for scratches, and 0000 for blemishes/ oxide removal. Emory paper in a fine grit would work, too. A Scotch-Brite disc on a drill like Bobby_'s using for keggle polishing would also do the trick. Kyle

Looks like stainless to me... Could be wrong, but also don't see where the OP mentioned what the pot is made from...

BTW, I would never remove the oxide from inside an aluminum brew pot/kettle...

Also, using the Scotch Brite pad on a drill would make swirls where the rest of the pot has a brushed finish... Using a pad, by hand, would more closely match the current finish... Or you could use a brass wheel on a drill and go in the same direction as the existing finish. That won't be as easy as by hand though, if you want to have it meld with the current finish...

Or you could just leave it the F alone and not worry/care...

I assumed pre-use, and no deoxidation thereafter.

Agreed. Kyle

Its a SS pot, no Al for me...
