Explanation:
Generally speaking, the term "stainless" (or Inox, in Vietnamese) here implies a resistance to certain staining, rusting and pitting. Stainless steel means higher resistance to the effects of exposure, but will still be affected by a number of elements. Among these types of steel is Brushed Stainless Steel, which is susceptible to human fingerprints and smudges. And people put some protective coating (also called anti-fingerprint coating) on this steel, making it "Polish Stainless Steel".
My suggested translations for your 3 terms are as follow:
1. Vòi Nước Inox Bóng Loáng
2. Vòi Nước Inox Chống Vết Bẩn
3. Vòi Nước Inox Bóng Loáng và Chống Vết Bẩn hiện có

Hi!


Explanation:
If there had been the context of those phrase, it'd have been easier and more accurate to translate them. I suggest :
1. Vòi nước làm bằng thép không gỉ được chùi rửa.
2.Vòi nước làm bằng thép không gỉ bóng loáng.
3. Vòi nước làm bằng thép không gỉ được chùi rửa và bóng loáng.

Sorry, I had a mistake:
3. Vòi nước làm bằng thép không gỉ hiện đã được chùi rửa và bóng loáng.

brushed stainless is a plating process. it's the "color", not material


Explanation:
WRONG big time!!!

brushed stainless IS NOT the'p kho^ng ri?
brushed stainless is a plating process (xi ma.), that would make
plastic, steel, brass, or whatever materials being plated... yield
a final look just like stainless steel being brushed (non-gloss),
or polish (glossy)

voi nuoc xi ma. ma`u thep khong ri? da'nh gia^'y nha'm
voi nuoc xi ma. ma`u thep knong ri? xi bo'ng

Explanation:
Stainless steel: thép không rỉ, inox, both is ok, but inox is more popular in speaking and in the south of VN.

I will translate the material only, not the faucet since I beleive that you have no problem with the faucet. They are all about the finishing of inox, you can see the images at the links.

1.Brushed Stainless Steel: inox sọc (or inox sọc nhuyễn)
