I have a caspian stainless steel slide, I washed it with running water then oiled it with diesel engine oil, I noticed that it was not effective with rust protection.
My concern is, how to keep stainless steel against rust, this slide is unused, never been fired so I have to keep it against rust, but keeping it in open air, stains/blemishes appears, the sandblasted areas like the top and dust cover has stains like rust, how do you avoid this?
I removed the stains off the shiny sides of the slides by using metal polish, the ones used to make brass shiny, but it is not effective with the sandblasted areas.
Any suggestions on how to remove the dirt/blemishes/stains?
Are metals polishes good for gun used or they have embedding capabilities that might eat away the metals in the long run, because I also applied some metal polish in the rails to remove the stains.
I washed them with water, then WD40, then oiled with Singer Oil.
