Gun Scrubber just left these light streaks down the side of the stock on my synthetic remington 870. Is there anything I can do to get the color back?

I didn't think to read the warnings, but apparently the can of gunscrubber i have at home is "synthetic safe," but this one is not... !@$!@

Welcome to the school of hard knocks.. :scrutiny:

With luck, you can simply find the color, or something close enough, and simply spray paint them back.

Or, get an ammo holder and cover your mistake.. possibly

Glock frames get streaks and slides turn gray after using Gunscrubber. If you wipe them down with CLP (some other lube would work I guess) they return to normal. You might try this.

Thanks for the tips. I oiled it up good and it looks better, but in the light you can still tell it's got the streaks on it. While googling, I found a recommendation to use black shoe polish. I may just give it a try.

Yeah, I won't let that stuff near anything polymer/synthetic.

I only use it for blasting the impossible to reach metal only regions

A tiny bit of overspray from Break Free Powder Blast put white-spots on my BHP wood grips. Boy did I feel stupid. Rem Oil and a lot of rubbing with a soft cloth made them disappear. Whew!

Lesson learned: Be Careful, read the label...

To it's credit, I use what I now realize is the "Synthetic Safe" version on my Synthetic Remington 700 back at home and I've never had any problems.

I've read that gunscrubber is bad for the molded plastic mag well and trigger housing of Marlin Camp Guns.
I use K1 kero in a small spray gun at 4 psi to rinse this area and a small brush to loosen any caked on residue then spray again.

WD-40 is cheap, and works well for blowing out gunk.
It won't harm any plastic used on guns.

Non-"synthetic-safe" Gunscrubber literally melted the plastic follower on a ProMag magazine.

"...Synthetic Safe..." There's synthetics and synthetics. They're not all the same. Fibreglass and polymers ain't the same thing.
"...anything I can do..." Try some emery paper. Wet/dry sandpaper. Then a light coat of epoxy glue. Epoxy glue dries clear. Emery paper it a bit to cut the shine.

Absolutely. The Marlins were made before plastics were really advanced, and strong solvents can melt them.

I've only cleaned mine using Hoppe's Elite.

[GRIZ22]

I don't know about "synthetic safe" but the old Gunscrubber would melt AUG magazines.

Its always a "crap shoot" when you hose down a polymer compound of unknown composure with a solvent product that may contain one to several compounds.

Best advice I can give is to "test" the product in an inconspicuous spot for compatibility and use caution from there.

streaks GONE!

[jon_in_wv]

I use Remington Oil in the spary can for nooks and crannies. I use Mobile 1 on everything else.

Gunscrubber is break cleaner.

[Gun Slinger]

Why would anyone want to clean a "break"?
