My recommendation, as always:

Cleaner for ceran (glass) cooktop/hotplates (on kitchen stoves). Works amazing, give it a try!

The product I use is called "Ceraclen", but I think that particular cleaner is not available in the US (but just in Europe).
Top three going by pocket-time (update October 25):
- EDC: Endela SE (K390). Endela SE (VG10), Manix 2 LW (REX45)
- Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1)

I would be willing to give it a try. But could someone in the USA order it from Europe? In the past I've had problems trying to order stuff from parts of Europe>> Germany in particular.

Albeit there are several similar products available here in the USA.

I think sal said the white ones last even longer than that.
Yeah the white stones last far longer than the gray/medium stones. I seem to wear out my gray/medium stones on my 204 Sharpmaker about ever 3 to 4 years or so as a general rule. But replacements are reasonably priced.

I've only ever had to replace one set of "Fine/white" stones in the past 20 years or so.

JD, I could try to help you out and send you some from Europe (btw: I am proudly from Austria, not Germany... ;) )

I figure though that any Ceran/glass cooktop cleaner works as well: This (link) is one that came up when I searched the US amazon site https://www.amazon.com/Weiman-Glass-Hea ... =8-15&th=1

I'm also wondering if they sell it here in the USA but maybe under another name or label? Bar Keeper's Friend has a wide array of other cleaning products they sell. I bet they sell a comparable product. I think I'll contact them and find out. I'll let you all know.

Hey by the way isn't Arnold Schwarzenegger originally from your home country Austria? I thought I heard that once?

f you pm me your adress, I can mail you some Ceraclean.
It would be on me of course, does not cost much - but I don´t know what kind of taxes / tariffs you´d have to pay.
Again, I am actually any cleaner for ceran/glass cooktops that you can find in the US or online will work as well.

Arnold? SURE!
In his own words: "Born in Austria, made in America" ;) (see here https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qabS3Bksicc)
