Those 4 I tried initially to clean with Windex (and then you told me not to) do not look any different than the 5th one that I did not touch with Windex and only used GoJo on it.
All 5 are not exactly shiny but are OK.

PS. I hate laquers on things it is not intended to be on. Eventually it cracks and peels and scratches. Like those stainless steel fridges with "no fingerprints" because they aree simply covered with some varnish or laquer. It scratches and then looks worse than any smudged stainless steel which, BTW, you can clean in a jiffy with that cleaner they sell for it.
