iPhone stainless steel scratches

I’m aware the silver stainless steel on the pro lineups scratch super easily. Iv seen numerous people fix that by using a steel polish. It seems to work iv tired it too. However, I’m afraid if I do this too many times that it will damage my phone, because you are actually removing a thin layer of the metal every time you rub it on a surface.

If it is plain stainless with no lacquer finish (are you sure?) then it will take a lifetime to polish through the metal, but I would worry more about getting polish in the button housings and SIM tray slot.
