Aluminum Foil
Something I have used to remove gasket residue from steel and aluminum surfaces that I didn’t want to risk cutting into is just wadded up aluminum foil. It is abrasive to the gasket material, but not to the surface material, as sandpaper would be. This might work here, as the foil should be tougher than the microfiber material, but softer than SS. It does take a little longer since it is not as abrasive as sandpaper. You may want to try it on an inconspicuous area first to just make sure it doesn’t scratch the polished finish.
I like the idea of PVC primer mentioned above. Sounds like it should do the trick also without the use of abrasives.
If you try a method that requires heat, try using a heat gun as would be used for stripping paint…. better control of the heat application, just don’t get it too close to the paint on the body.
But if you don’t have any primer or a heat gun readily available, maybe you do have some aluminum foil in the kitchen cabinet.
